In this lavishly illustrated biography, Gillian Darley places Soane's life and buildings side by side, examining both. Born the son of a bricklayer, Soane was a self-made man, egotistic, irascible, with encyclopedic interests. He built himself a remarkable town house that he filled with treasures and left in trust to the nation. By 1800 he was rich and successful, designing both private houses for powerful clients and public works. Consummate at securing patronage, he was the personal architect to two prime ministers. He was architect to the Bank of England, to Chelsea Hospital, and to the United Grand Lodge of Freemasons. He designed the Dulwich Art Gallery, the first purpose-built art gallery in Britain. Possessed throughout his life by a dream to rebuild the Houses of Parliament, he developed many visionary schemes. Late in life, he built the new Law Courts at Westminster and many of the premises for the growing departments of state.

Résumé:
The cities of Paris and Chandigarh are the two poles in whose field of tension Le Corbusier's unique creative powers developed. Paris stands for the experimental white modernism of the twenties, a phase that begins immediately after his early works and peaks in the Villa Savoye. Chandigarh in India is the location of the brutalist monumental buildings that accompanied Le Corbusier almost throughout his late period until his death. In between these two great phases - in this book as well - comes his town planning work applied to concrete projects and also his preoccupation with geometrical design principles in the Modulor.

Résumé:
Shigeru Ban may be best known for his evocative Curtain Wall House in Tokyo----a highlight of the Museum of Modern Art's 1999 Un-Private House exhibit----but few know the range of this Japanese architect's work. In this first English-language monograph on Ban, 30 built projects reveal his inventiveness and humanitarianism. Ban's primary objectives in his work are the use of low-cost materials and the dissolution of the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. His paper tube designs, which he first created as emergency housing for victims of Rwanda's civil war, were later reconfigured for earthquake victims in Kobe and were incorporated in Ban's Japanese Pavilion at Hannover Expo 2000. Influenced by the Japanese tradition of linking the home with the surrounding environment, Ban has created buildings such as Hanegi Forest and Walls-less House that invite nature to coexist with design.

Résumé:
The Eberswalde Library has been compared to a Warhol painting. Designed in collaboration with artist Thomas Ruff, it carries the idea of a pictorial façade further than any other Herzog & de Meuron project. The building is a simple cube sheathed in glazing and cast-concrete panels, arranged in horizontal bands. Each band shows a single image, repeated sixty-six times, like a static film strip. The images are drawn from Ruff’s own archive of newspaper photographs, and encompass the decorative, the symbolic, and the politically charged. Combining elements which have long been deemed incompatible – minimalism and ornament, purity and baroque fullness, concrete box and pictorial façade, space and surface – Herzog & de Meuron’s new library challenges the conventions of modernism.

The only building designed by Wittgenstein, it crystallized his philosophy of architecture-notable for its clarity, precision, and austerity-and served as a foil for his written work. This detailed investigation of the house is based on 30 years of extensive research. It examines the formal properties of the structure, including Wittgenstein's attention to proportion, detail, and color. It is also the story of one man's relationship to this extraordinary building: in 1971, author Bernhard Leitner was instrumental in saving the Wittgenstein House from destruction and having it declared a national landmark.

Résumé:
Six remarkable churches built by Nicholas Hawksmoor from 1712 to 1731 still tower over London. Their striking limestone steeples and luminous interiors were designed by him for a parliamentary commission intent on affirming the majesty of the Anglican Church. In Hawksmoor's London Churches, architectural historian Pierre de la Ruffinière du Prey argues that though each church is unique, they can be viewed as an integrated whole--a single masterpiece that reflects the architect's design principles and his client's wish to return to the purity of early Christian times. Du Prey constructs his book in three stages like an intricate Hawksmoor steeple. He begins with Hawksmoor's education under Christopher Wren, from whom Hawksmoor learned to appreciate Classical and Judeo-Christian antiquities. He then reveals how the writings on early church liturgy that inspired the commission, meshed with Wren's and Hawksmoor's theories of architectural evolution. He concludes by analyzing the churches themselves, focusing closely on the architect's preparatory drawings for the towers. Individually they reveal his ability to translate theological ideas into distinctive landmarks of stone. Cumulatively they explain how his vision of the history of architecture from antiquity to primitive Christianity to the Middle Ages inspired an imaginative personal style. Hawksmoor's churches have become increasingly beloved by architects, critics, historians, and tourists. This timely and beautifully illustrated book will appeal to anyone interested in Hawksmoor, architectural history, religion, or London's many-spired skyline.
