Every great city is constantly growing and dying. Carl Sandburg described Chicago in 1916 as "building, breaking, rebuilding." Chicago invented and then reinvented the skycraper, making it reach higher than anywhere else in the world. Visalli photographs the architectural masterpieces famous throughout the world-from Louis Sullivan's ornemental facades to Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's sleek office towers-as well as the works of the new generation of the Chicago school of architecture. But Chicago is about more than buildings : Visalli shoots the dark girders of the El, the taverns open all night, the pomp of Michigan avenue, and verdant green Lincoln Park. With more than 200 images, "Chicago" captures the visual paradoxes and triuphs of this great American city.

Résumé:
Architect Stanley Saitowitz, based in San Francisco, is known for a practice that unites the qualities of early modern architecture with the construction techniques, materials, and urban and social attributes of the twenty-first century. Recurring themes in his work include the careful connection to time and place; the construction of spaces that allow fields of opportunity; the use of generative systems; the role of architecture as a support for human activity; and the visible trace of building techniques. This monograph, the first on Stanley Saitowitz office, presents fifty projects from more than thirty years of practice. The projects, divided by building type, are accompanied by a personal text in which Saitowitz plainly discusses his influences and interests. Landscape houses, often built on spectacular sites in Marin, Napa, and Sonoma, have evolved to include the noted "bar houses." Urban houses, while compact and dense, incorporate a sense of volume; similarly, multifamily housing provides indeterminate space to allow for personalization. Buildings for schools range from the riverside campus of the Oxbow School in Napa to the structurally innovative Building 23B at UCSF Mission Bay. Among the public landscapes is Mill Race Park in Columbus, Indiana, an assemblage of constructions specific to both place and function. Finally, Saitowitz has developed a series of designs that explore the formation of a Jewish architecture, notably synagogues in San Francisco and La Jolla and the Holocaust Memorial in Boston. Principal photography by Richard Barnes and Tim Griffith.

Résumé:
Architectural discourse today is characterized by an overlapping conversation between architects and academics, teachers and students, theorists and practitioners. Certain terms-"diagram, " "extreme form, " "autonomy, " and "the generic, " among others-capture the moment in architecture in definition and in operation. "Crib sheets" is a guide-a "crib"-to twenty-two of those buzzwords, framing contemporary currents and trajectories. Each of the words is presented with a list of quotations, or sound bites, arranged in order of length and drawn from more than two hundred commentators, from Charles Baudelaire, Le Corbusier, and Buckminster Fuller to Frank Gehry, Paul Goldberger, and Rem Koolhaas. The structure attempts to evoke the present-day architectural conversation, capturing social milieus, current events, clusters of topics, and even background noise and eavesdropping.

Résumé:
De Lucchi (Ferrara 1951) was a protagonist of 'Radical Architecture', and also of the Cavart, Alchimia and Memphis movements. He has designed industrial objects for companies that are household words, such as Artemide, Kartell, Matsuhita, Mauser, Poltrona Frau and Olivetti; and buildings and interiors for clients like Deutsche Bank, Deutsche Bundesbahn, Enel, Poste Italiane and Telecom Italia. In 1990 he founded Produzione Privata, an enterprise with an artisanal slant where he creates prototypes for industrial objects in limited editions by constantly drawing on Italy's skilled craft tradition. He also lectures at the IUAV University in Venice. This volume analyzes De Lucchi's works and his ideas on, among other things, the evolution of the workplace and of the objects that make up the varied landscape of advanced societies. The monograph is introduced by an essay that places De Lucchi's multifaceted work in perspective - from his debut as an artist at the beginning of the 1970s to his recent 'service design' - and includes detailed descriptions of a wide range of his major projects, a complete list of all his works, a bibliography and a selection of his writings.
