Summary:
A thought-provoking guide to the endearing and enigmatic ways in which the built environment takes shape,this publication proposes a new way of thinking about neighborhoods, housing developments, streetscapes, and storefronts, not so much as places defined by building codes, dimensions, or geographic features, but as assemblages of ad hoc interventions and incidental ephemera. It is an invitation to thoroughly reconsider issues of expertise, professionalism, power, ubiquity, defaults, communication environments, construction practices, and how these things confront architecture.

Summary:
Mies van der Rohe’s 1941–45 Farnsworth House and Philip Johnson’s 1947 Glass House in New Caanan, Connecticut: two haikus of glass and concrete that rewrote the history of modern residential architecture. Much ink has already been spilled on the subject by critics and historians intent on deconstructing our notions of domesticity; however these two masterpieces have also taken on lives of their own in the minds of countless artists, architects, and designers. They have inspired nearly ninety creations for an exclusive project with the National Historic Preservation Trust, collected here in Modern Views . With an introduction by critic Paul Goldberger and essays by Phyllis Lambert and Sylvia Lavin; contributors include David Adjaye, Tadao Ando, Peter Eisenman, Zaha Hadid, Maira Kalman, Annie Leibowitz, Daniel Libeskind, Thom Mayne, and Rafael Viñoly, among others.

Summary:
During a tumultuous period in the 1960s and 70s, a new generation of architects began their careers amidst a period of profound social change, new conditions for architecture and the city and lasting changes to popular and critical forms of cultural production. First Works tells the story of this period and reassesses the conditions of architecture and the beginnings of architectural careers through a selection of projects undertaken during the 60s and 70s. The book, accompanying a major travelling exhibition, presents a single key early project, in the form of models, sketches, photographs and drawings, by 20 young architectural practices, including Archigram, Aldo Rossi, Robert Venturi, Renzo Piano, Peter Eisenman, Herzog & de Meuron and Zaha Hadid. Alongside these ‘first works’, 20 invited critics, including Kenneth Frampton, Sylvia Lavin and Pier Vittorio Aureli, offer contemporary commentaries on these projects and their place within the architects’ subsequent careers.
