Crisis of the Object
Looking back over the twentieth century, Hartoonian discusses the work of three major architects: Peter Eisenman, Frank Gehry and Bernard Tschumi, in reference to their theoretical positions and historicizes present architecture in the context of the ongoing secularization of the myths surrounding the traditions of nineteenth century architecture in general, and, in particular, Gottfried Semper's discourse on the tectonic. Providing a valuable contribution to the current debates surrounding architectural history and theory, this passionately written book makes valuable reading for any architect.

Fernando Menis
"In his monolithic and sculptural building, Spanish architect Fernando Menis has discovered a formal idiom and an expressive power that is not only indebted to international modernism, but is also impressed by Tenerifian resources and building traditions. His projects insert themselves quite naturally into the volcanic topography of the surrounding landscape while at the same time setting highly conspicuous accents. Both this exhibition and its accompanying catalog demonstrate that both conceptually and in terms of design, Fernando Menis has confidently taken his own paths, not only in his large-scale architectural undertakings, but also in his intensive activities involving urban planning projects".--Introduction.
The Cymbalista Synagogue and Jewish Heritage Center
Mario Botta has become the world's foremost architect of churches and museums. To a series of great buildings that have been dubbed fortresses of art and culture he has added his first synagogue, a remarkable building that masterfully interprets the fundamentals of the Jewish religion. With the Cymbalista Synagogue and Jewish Heritage Center at Tel Aviv University Mario Botta is considered to have created a breakthrough in synagogue construction. Strikingly modern in style it is unencumbered by reminiscences and tradition, but still succeeds in providing a comforting feeling of protection. Several of its structural elements are symbolic: the two columns at the main entrance are reminiscent of Solomon's Temple, light comes in only from above, and there are no decorations or windows to distract from prayer.
