Paperback. Published by the University of California, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. 9.5 x 7.5 inches. Printed in China. Semi-glossy white paper wrappers, embossed front wrapper, with lettering in shades of gray and black. 349+ pages. Still in the original shrink-wrap. A New copy. 2 lb. 15 oz. Exhibition, January 31 to May 29, 2016. Architecture of Life, the inaugural exhibition in BAMPFA's landmark new building, explores the ways that architecture as concept, metaphor, and practice illuminates various aspects of life experience: the nature of the self and psyche, the fundamental structures of reality, and the power of the imagination to reshape our world. Occupying every gallery in the new building, designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, the exhibition comprises over two hundred works of art in a wide range of media, as well as scientific illustrations and architectural drawings and models, made over the past two thousand years. Boundary-breaking, innovative, and radically interdisciplinary, the exhibition presents visually exquisite, rarely seen works in ways that suggest new connections and meanings.

Store Description

Welcome to the books platform of Marc Sena Carrel. I operated a professional book business between 2003 and 2017 in the San Francisco Bay Area, including via AbeBooks, and I am now a private party selling off fine books from my personal collection. I carry a choice selection of books, prints and ephemera for the discriminating customer. I focus on scholarly and antiquarian books, with a special emphasis on art books. From time to time I also offer original prints, including but not limited to antique Japanese ukiyo-e prints. Additionally I go in for occasional ephemera. Currently on offer via Abebooks are select titles. My selection is more eclectic and off the beaten path than mainstream and predictable. Please e-mail me at marcsenacarrel@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns. I will be happy to be of service. Thank you.
