Last Light
Lacayo shows how old age can be a time of daring creativity and triumph in art. He focuses on six artists who produced many of their greatest works in the last years of their long careers-- and sometimes even changed the court of art history. Though they differed in many respects, these six artists shared a determination to go on creating. They were driven not by the bounding energies of youth but by the ticking clock that would inspire them to produce some of their greatest masterpieces. -- adapted from jacket

Architecture and the Image at the Turn of the 21st Century
This book examines architecture, image, and media relationships as productive for architecture and architectural discourses. By arguing that the relationships between architecture and media cannot be dismissed via linear criticism of architecture and media or image, these relations are instead seen as a part of a sphere (a mediasphere) of complex relationships.

Contemporary archit...
