Josep Llinás
Whether Llinas is operating on a "leftover" lot in the city or building in the open landscape, he strives to make sense of the site: creating a public space to conclude an urban axis in one location; deploying the volumes of his new construction to reconcile the disparate scales of neighboring buildings in another; using an inventive corner treatment to enliven a bleak street in a third.
Reflections at Eventide
Many people intend to leave footprints in the sands of time to enable those who follow to have some idea from whence they came. But then time passes, and oftentimes this kind of extended journal remains unwritten. Eugene Friesen wrote Reflections at Eventide because he wanted his children and his children’s children to follow the unexpected twists and turns his life has taken, starting with a very provincial and conservative rural background. He shares some of the turning points, often lonely and frightening, that result in what seems like cataclysmic changes in his world view. Leta, his wife of sixty-two years, was his major anchor. She had a powerful impact on his life and he chose a most unpredictable path leading to a journey he could never have anticipated.
The Beehive Metaphor
Juan Antonio Ramı́rez examines the complex ideological, artistic, political and architectural repercussions of apian metaphors and their influence on architecture and ecological thinking for those in the Modern Movement of architecture.
Practice
Nine essays that practicing architect Allen wrote between 1989 and 1997 and extensively reworked over the next two years explore how the modes of representation and techniques of realization available to the architect affect the practice. Though conversant in contemporary theory and architecture history, he argues that concepts in architecture are not imported from other disciplines but emerge through the materials and procedures of architectural practice itself. He includes many monochrome photographs, but no index. c. Book News Inc.
