Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown revisit their 'infamous' book which overturned the barriers separating high architecture from the commercial architecture of the Strip. You can get involved, hear the couple's project description, see the drawings and join in the crit.
This volume offers both an introduction to and an insight into key contemporary architects as well as giving a snapshot of the varied nature of architecture today. For each architect there are details of their life and work and illustrations of their most representative and iconic buildings.
Focusing on Thomas Hardy's lesser-known contributions beyond his iconic Max Gate, this book explores his role as an architect of ideas and landscapes. It argues that Hardy's influence extends to shaping perceptions and experiences of the world through various forms, not just buildings. Accompanied by a rich collection of his drawings, the narrative illustrates how he crafted the Wessex region with the same thoughtful consideration as an architect, revealing the depth of his creative vision.
