Paperback. Condition: Good. Over 125 Color & B/w Illustrations (illustrator). The question of how to build in historic city centres has increasingly troubled - and inspired - the architectural profession over the last 20 years. Stigmatized by the effects of five decades of modernist planning yet equipped with a fresh understanding and appreciation of tradition, architecture has reached what is arguably the most critical crossroads of the century. Architects around the world have begun to break out of the long period of self-imposed abstinence from contextual considerations, seeking ways by which to engage traditional and historic settings in meaningful dialogue and producing some of most engaging proposals in recent times. Differences abound, however, and raise questions concerning the exact nature of intervention. How far should historical precedents be taken as models? How are contemporary social and technological parameters incorporated in the new proposals? How should tradition and originality be understood? How can we retain traditional urban forms within the constraints of contemporary practice? What is the nature of the dialogue between architects and the people for whom they build? These and similar issues have been addressed by some of the world's foremost theorists and practitioners in the discussions of the Symposium here summarized, including Jacquelin Robertson, Maurice Culot, Demetri Porphyrios, Rob Krier and John Simpson. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Architecture today is moving at a faster pace than ever before. Many of the projects featured here reached us as proposals only a short while ago. The most recent progress of various architects is documented, including Peter Wilson, Gunter Behnisch, Philippe Starck, Zamp Kelp and Hani Rashid. Projects featured include Peter Wilson's house for David and Jancie Blackburn, which provides a visually and spatially supportive framework for their collection of contemporary furniture; Gunter Behnisch's whose recently completed Postal Museum, the latest in a series of 13 museums commissioned by the city of Frankfurt. New work by Philippe Starck finds a perfect outlet in Japan where it has captured the imagination of a wide range of corporate clients. And Christian Norburg-Schulz, in his article The New Tradition, asks if and how it is possible to derive an architecture that both reflects the dynamism of modernity and answers the need for a timeless built environment. Also included is an inside view of Carter Wiseman's recent book on IM Pei which conveys the controversy surrounding Pei's much-needed Louvre addition. The single spirit uniting writings and buildings is the persistent questioning of the direction that contemporary architecture is taking today. This profile, with its variety of answers, proves that pluralism is alive and leading to some of the best architecture for decades. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This is an in-depth presentation of the Groningen project in Holland masterminded by Daniel Libeskind. Nine internationally renowned figures from a wide variety of disciplines were invited to design monumental tokens to be placed at the edge of the city. The resulting markers were rich in symbolism and imagination, with a theoretical diversity that could be expected from such a grouping. Among the participants were American historian of art and architecture Kurt Forster, German dramatist Heiner Muller, two visual artists, Thom Puckey from Holland and Leonhard Lapin from Estonia, two architects, American John Hejduck and Gunnar Daan from Holland. The product of enlightened patronage on the part of the citizens, politicians and bureaucrats of Groningen, the scheme set out to confront issues of urban identity on the occasion of the city's 950th anniversary. Containing a wealth of fascinating material both written and visual, this profile demonstrates the incredible vitality and ingenuity which lay behind this unique project. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This volume presents a sustained and original interpretation of painting and the question of the art object. Both topics raise questions central to the understanding of art in the 20th century and this book reviews: the relationship of painting to time; the continuing influence of Duchamp on the art-object; the increasing use of installation as an art form; and the instability of the categories of painting and sculpture that emerge from the project of mimimalism. The book discusses the work of artists from different generations including Anselm Kiefer, Jackson Pollock, Robert Ryman, Christian Boltanksi, Langlands and Bell.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Gathering together a formidable collection of writings by both artists and writers, this issue explores the position of painting today. Painting has had to reaffirm itself in an age where different media and approaches proliferate, where the possibilities of communication in the fields of artificial intelligence and infinite.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The Post-Modern Reader edited by Charles Jencks An Anthology of a World Movement Post-Modernism has been debated, attacked, and defended for a generation, but only in the last few years has it come into focus as a coherent way of thought embracing all areas of culture. This is the first anthology that presents the synthesising trend in all its diversity, a convergence in architecture and literature, film and cultural theory, sociology, feminism and theology, science and economics. It is however, a synthesis with a difference; it is one which stresses a contested pluralism, the dialogic that underlies the growth of sciences as well as the development of other art forms such as the novel. Some of the key historical texts are reprinted in part those of Daniel Bell on the post-industrial society and Jean-Francois Lyotard on the post-modern condition. The new cultural logic of contested pluralism is analysed in seminal papers by Andreas Huyssen and Jim Collins. The fundamental ideas on post-modern literature are defined by Umberto Eco, John Barth and David Lodge and the theories they present challenge the notion of post-modernism as an ultra avant-garde movement and the expression of a consumer society. New Cultural Theory Late Modernism Literature, Art, Architecture and Film Sociology, Politics and Geography Feminism Science and Religion Tito Arecchi, John Barth, Jean Baudrillard, Daniel Bell, Charles Birch, David Bohm, Jim Collins, Norman K Denzin, Umberto Eco, Edward Goldsmith, David Ray Griffin, Jurgen Habermas, David Harvey, Ihab Hassan, Linda Hutcheon, Andreas Huyssen, Charles Jencks, Heinrich Klotz, Hans Kung, David Lodge, Jean-Francois Lyotard, Robin Murray, Craig Owens, Paolo Portoghesi, Margaret Rose, Susan Rubin Suleiman, Edward W Soja.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Representations of animals occur throughout Pablo Picasso's career (1891-1973) but especially during and after his involvement with Surrealism in the 1920s and 30s. This work presents these images by subject, that is, the cat, the goat, the bull, as they might appear in a medieval bestiary or Book of Beasts. Picasso never painted animals with a naturalist's eye, but in keeping with his lifelong preoccupation with essentially human experiences, such as emotions and truths, he often saw the animal kingdom as an opportunity to make visual allegories and parables. This text is written by the curators of the exhibition, A Picasso Bestiary, held in Croydon Museum, London, in 1995. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This issue of Architectural Design heralds a bold change in the style and format of the magazine. Improving its quality of reproduction and presentation, it now has an enlarged format and a new, innovative design. Modern pluralism has been sweeping the architectural world. Continuing its tradition of vigorously addressing the most important trends in architecture today, Architectural Design opens with an exploratory essay on this phenomenon by Geoffrey Broadbent, who attempts to discover just exactly what is going on. This is followed by a transcript of the Inaugural Lecture by Richard McCormac as President of the RIBA, in which he highlights the achievements of contemporary British architecture and discusses the way forward for the profession. Charles Jencks talks about the agenda of those architects currently practising new modernism; Peter Cook introduces his favourite architectural principles and practitioners; and Bernard Tschumi discusses the architecture of the event; the work of Arata Isozaki, Morphosis, Oma and James Stirling and Michael Wilford is featured in detail as well as an introduction to the work of Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio. The additional, newly expanded magazine section maintains the high standard of content and design and includes a special extensive feature on the 1991 Venice Biennale as well as an interview with Norman Foster by Ken Powell, the Lucinda Lambton Diary - a new feature - and an article by Anthony Quiney on the medieval English village of Smarden; there is also a round-up of recent events, exhibitions and publications. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Feng Shui - the Chinese philosophy of placing, siting and designing a building so that it is in harmony with everything that surrounds it - has been practised in China for several thousand years. It became so deeply rooted in Chinese traditional architecture that the basic principles of building - symmetry, balance and orientation - were based on its concept. The practice of Feng Shui is cited in texts dating from the 3rd century and is still in use in the modern world - Sir Norman Foster made numerous changes to the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank in Hong Kong after consulting an expert in Feng Shui. Also known as Kan Yu, Feng Shui incorporates many aspects of Chinese belief and culture, the philosophy of yin and yan, Chinese symbolism and cosmology, ecology, compatability of horoscopes and orientation, and a sense of good design. With numerous illustrations throughout, this text provides an explanation of this ancient Chinese philosophy and its various applications to architecture. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The last forty years have seen an outburst of theories and manifestoes which explore the possibilities of architecture: its language, evolution and social relevance. With the many crises in architecture and the obvious urban and ecological problems., Modernism has been criticised, questioned, overthrown, extended, subverted and revivified not a peaceful time for architectural thought and production. The result has been a cascade of new theories, justifications and recipes for building. This anthology, edited by the well-known historian and critic Charles Jencks, and the urbanist and theorist Karl Kropf, collects the main texts which define these changes. Essential for the student and practitioner alike, it presents over 120 of the key arguments of today's major architectural philosophers and gurus. These show that the Modern architecture of the early part of this century has mutated into three main traditions: a critical and ecological Post-Modernism; a High-Tech and sculptural Late Modernism; and a deconstructive, subversive New Modernism. Here are the seminal texts of James Stirling, Robert Venturi, Colin Rowe, Christopher Alexander, Frank Gehry, Reyner Banham, Bernard Tschumi, Rem Koolhaas and many others who have changed the discourse of architecture. Here also are the anti-Modern texts of the traditionalists Leon Krier, Demetri Porphyrios, Quinlan Terry, Prince Charles and others. Many of these texts are concise, edited varsions of influential books. Highly informative and richly illustrated with over forty drawings and photographs, this volume is a vital learning and teaching tool for all those interested in the philosophies of contemporary architecture. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Architecture is the art, science and construction for human purpose, and must reveal humanity.' This book not only offers a unique insight into the work of Ian Ritchie Architects but provides a thorough exploration into the design process and the wider forces which exist and determine the pluralism of today's architecture, in turn affecting the individual. The author, Ian Ritchie, reveals the way in which the practice approaches architectural design and the execution of each project, tailored by the original preconcept: a holistic expression of the project's essence. Throughout the book, a diverse range of projects are used to illustrate different aspects encountered by art and architecture, urban space planning, landscape design, civil and structural engineering, applied science and industrial design. The benefits of collaboration, whether in relation to the user or industry (contact relished by Ritchie), emerge clearly in the book. (Well) Connected Architecture demonstrates how a better, more valid and flexible architecture car be achieved by access to scientific and technical knowledge, breaking down barriers between different disciplines, and greater awareness of social and ecological issues. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
