Revised with a number of new projects, this highly anticipated monograph presents an enticing selection of recent projects by Singapore-based firm SCDA Architects, a world-leader in residential and commercial design. This new volume showcases a stunning array of houses; resort hotels; apartment buildings; commercial and institutional facilities; and interior, furniture and landscape designs that have been completed since the firm’s successful 2004 monograph in IMAGES’ The Master Architect Series. Malaysian-born architect Soo K Chan’s designs are a reflection of contemporary Asia – incorporating his inspired, forward-thinking vision while respectfully referencing the spirit of traditional Asian architecture.
An exploration of the innovative designs of world-renowned architectural firm SCDA.

As practice becomes increasingly globalized and fragmented, the applied design language has to absorb nuances of climate, craft, culture, and place. Through a rich diagrammatic analysis of seminal projects by SCDA as well as masters of architecture around the world, With Reference argues for the revival of a rule-based design language.

This is a story about a modern day hunter that is hunting in a strange area, even though he hunted the Black Hills for over thirty years. During this hunt, he comes across burnt foundations and 5 graves. These stones have his relation names on them with the date of death all on the same day. He finds a skeleton nearby that he uncovers and says, "If only these bones could talk!" It goes back to 1866 through what happens, causing these deaths. It goes to 1877 and tells how the Davey is adopted. It follows the lives through the Deadwood gold discovery days. He and Russ have a ranch partnership and the story shows problems and events involved in ranching, and Indian problems. Many things happen, building friendships, also facing perils in those days. It explains the deaths of the family and finally uncovers the murderous deed and those responsible. It's based on historical facts, no one is written about without their permission. If it does cover anything or anyone, it is unintentional. I have written this book based on Christian background, without any swearing or sex, so it is readable for all ages.
