Résumé:
As one of the most alluring yet elusive concepts in contemporary style, glamour is an ideal that permeates our visual culture. Published to coincide with an exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, this catalogue radically revises our understanding of glamour in the field of fashion, industrial design, and architecture. Tracing galmour's trajectory from Hollywood's golden age to its present-day connotations of affluence, this illustrated volume presents an array of post-war couture, jewelry, automobiles, furniture and built and unbuilt architecture-all of which share an affinity for richly decorative patterning, complex layering and sumptuous materials.

Résumé:
A new generation of architects is pushing digital technology to its limits and continues a tradition of "organic" architecture, often labeled "blobitecture." A few architects in the pre-digital era anticipated the shape of today's sleek and supple buildings, but computers have helped make many of today's large, truly innovative architectural projects buildable. Up until now, the new generation's architectural work has been overshadowed by that of the previous generation. This volume defines the next generation and captures the latest trends in architecture it has put forward. Among the thirty architects featured are Greg Lynn, ShoP, Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos, Wes Jones, Lindy Roy, Foreign Office Architects, Rem Koolhaas, and Frank Gehry.

Résumé:
This handsome book explores the recent use of figurative characteristics in the design arts. Through digital literacy and enhanced fabrication techniques, this avant-garde movement has reintroduced hybrids of methods and ideologies that were once considered too ornamental in character or too handcrafted for the 20th-century minimalist design lexicon. Both large urban-scale architecture and the small domestic realm of design are employing this avant-garde vocabulary formally and figuratively in the terms of shapes and surfaces that evoke trees, tornadoes, parasols, photography, death, illness, food, music, and sensuality.

Résumé:
This book brings together 17 Kahn projects, ranging from private housing to commercial architecture, religious buildings, exhibition spaces, and government buildings. With the Jonas Salk Institute in La Jolla, California (1959–1965) Kahn created a workspace with superb functional and aesthetic qualities; the institute’s Minimalist elements radiate a sense of eternal beauty. The Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth (1966–1972) occupies the somewhat faceless city like an island of spiritual space, an effect that is achieved by simplicity in design and materials. Also, the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad (1962–1974) and the Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, National Assembly of Bangladesh in Dhaka that was finished after his death are buildings of monumental importance, demonstrating the vision the architect.

Résumé:
In addition to an overview of Shulman's career and photographic oeuvre, this book emphasizes Shulman's method of 'constructing' photographic views. These constructions, which complemented his innate ability to compose striking photographs, often transcend reality to capture the spirit, time, and place of a work of architecture. An analysis of architecture's visual presentation examines not only the media of the era, John Entenza's Arts & Architecture, for instance, but also the work of Shulman's photographic contemporaries.
