Summary:
Beyond the Plan is a book about the ways in which we transform our own personal space as an expression of ourselves, whilst still dwelling within structures imposed on us by architects and planners. It centres around a series of interviews carried out by Willats with people living on estates in London, Bath and Berlin between the late 1970s and late 1990s, which led to the creation of interactive and participatory artworks that were often presented in the same buildings in which those people lived. They examine the personalisation of the dwelling space itself, the individualisation of the immediate environment, and the ways in which adjacent spaces such as wastelands and allotments are turned into places of escape. In the accompanying essays, Willats explains why, as an artist, he centred his work on the polemics of modern building, and sets out the conclusions he has drawn from the exchanges he has had with residents - the common attitudes he has discovered across boundaries of age, taste and social background.

Summary:
"MiMo : Miami Modern Revealed" is the first comprehensive survey of the rich postwar architecture that epitomizes the romance and energy that is Miami. Well-known for its revitalized South Beach Deco architecture, Miami's vibrant strain of modern architecture combines attention to space, form, and innovative design with a nuanced subtropical exoticism particular to the region, the gateway between the United States and Latin America. From humble motels to sprawling ocean-side resorts, this lively style also thrives in the city's civic, domestic, and commercial architecture. "MiMo" tracks the history and development of the Magic City from the days of nightclub acts and swank hotels to the advent of the crystalline downtown skyscrapers, including detailed overviews of work by Morris Lapidus, Gilbert Fein, and regional masters Alfred Browning Parker, Norman M. Giller, and others. Preservation-minded, the authors list the important buildings which did not survive decades of redevelopment, and conclude with a chapter on the effort to protect threatened MiMo masterpieces. Hundreds of recent and period photographs from the heyday of Miami glamour complete this celebration of some of the hottest architecture around.

Summary:
Every great city is constantly growing and dying. Carl Sandburg described Chicago in 1916 as "building, breaking, rebuilding." Chicago invented and then reinvented the skycraper, making it reach higher than anywhere else in the world. Visalli photographs the architectural masterpieces famous throughout the world-from Louis Sullivan's ornemental facades to Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's sleek office towers-as well as the works of the new generation of the Chicago school of architecture. But Chicago is about more than buildings : Visalli shoots the dark girders of the El, the taverns open all night, the pomp of Michigan avenue, and verdant green Lincoln Park. With more than 200 images, "Chicago" captures the visual paradoxes and triuphs of this great American city.
