Synopsis
This new monograph presents the work of San Francisco-based architect?Stanley Saitowitz. Comprehensive in scope, it begins with his earliest?work in South Africa (see A House in?the Transvaal) and continues up to his recent projects, including?the California Museum of Photography in Riverside, Mill Race Park in?Columbus, Indiana (see Design With the?Land), and the award-winning design for the New England Holocaust?Memorial, to be built next to the Boston City Hall.?
?Saitowitz's dynamic designs -- at once modern and?organic -- have been the subject of numerous exhibitions,?this is the first time Saitowitz's work has been gathered together in a?single volume. As Lars Lerup wittily suggests in his postscript about the?double initials of the architect, Saitowitz's work embodies "the legacy of?nature -- the swirl, the slither, the curl, the twist, the?surge, the eddy, the gyration. Out of the grass into Saitowitz's plans?they come to stake their claim in the domain of artifice."?
?Saitowitz was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and has been in practice?in San Francisco since 1975. He has held teaching posts at numerous?schools, including the Eliot Noyes Professorship at the Harvard GSD. He is?currently a Professor of Architecture at the University of California at?Berkeley.?
?Stanley Saitowitz, beautifully illustrated throughout with duotones?and drawings of built work, includes a poetic textual interpretation of?the art of architecture by Saitowitz as well as an introduction by Michael?Bell and a postscript by Lars Lerup.?

Review
This spare, elegant, and small-scale monograph of the entire oeuvre of San Francisco-based architect Stanley Saitowitz is the only volume of his work available. The book begins with a survey of Saitowitz's early career in his native South Africa, and also presents the architect's most recent projects, including his award-winning design for the New England Holocaust Memorial in Boston. Each project is illustrated with striking black-and-white photographs, followed by a special section including Saitowitz's personal thoughts and descriptions about his projects and architecture in general. It is interesting to learn, for instance, that he thinks of architecture less as a rarefied art form and more like cooking: "This establishes very real conditions," he notes. "No one thinks rotten food amusing." The icing on the cake is a postscript by Lars Lerup.

Condition: Sehr gut. Unpag. Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - Across a career that now spans twenty years of building, the architect Stanley Saitowitz has consistently portrayed his architecture as derived from and rooted in its site; indeed a Saitowitz building might be said to be made of its site. As an architect whose work concerns itself with "nature's mode of operation," the geometry of Saitowitz's buildings were, and often still are, engraved in the topography of the earth. From its origins on the South African Transvaal in the late 1970s, Saitowitz's practice moved to the lush hills of northern California, and increasingly his work situates itself in the city and the megalopolis. In San Francisco and the Bay Area, in Boston, Columbus, New York, and Berlin, as well as the non-site suburbs of much of modern California, the intricacy of that which is cohered by Saitowitz's geometries has exponentially increased. The ground upon which Saitowitz works, the natural mode of operation to which his work must refer is now a topography of rarefied economic and legal dimension. While his architectural practice is relatively young, it is a practice that, upon this metropolitan ground, has entered its third phase: Saitowitz is now building works that describe not only a ground but indeed a wide-open landscape within what Felix Guattari has referred to as "the age of capitalist abstraction," an urban plateau characterized by a "deterritorialization of knowledge and technique."' The publication of the present monograph marks the beginning of that phase; 1022 Natoma Street, the McLane-Looke Residence, and the Bischoff House, like Le Corbusier's Maison LaRoche, preview a public and private body of work to come-some of which is now under constructic that offers insights not only into Saitowitz's oeuvre but, bee: of its diligence and clarity, to a generation of American archit who struggle to maintain the territorial margins of what is a the discipline of architecture.
