Résumé:
It's an unfortunate reality that architects practicing in the great expanse between the East and West coasts all too often find themselves beyond the radar of the profession's so-called "tastemakers." And it's especially a shame in the case of Julie Snow, a Minneapolis-based architect who has, over the past decade, developed one of the most inventive practices anywhere in(...)

Résumé:
It's an unfortunate reality that architects practicing in the great expanse between the East and West coasts all too often find themselves beyond the radar of the profession's so-called "tastemakers." And it's especially a shame in the case of Julie Snow, a Minneapolis-based architect who has, over the past decade, developed one of the most inventive practices anywhere in the United States. Snow's meticulously constructed work has the structural opacity and formal integrity that characterized Mies van der Rohe's architecture, but with a sense of humanity and a sensitivity to the environment that seems borrowed from her Midwestern progenitor, Frank Lloyd Wright. This, the first monograph on Snow's work, provides in depth documentation of 14 of her residential, institutional, corporate, and public projects, including the Koehler Residence in New Brunswick, Canada, a series of Minneapolis Light Rail Stations, the Minnesota Children's Museum, and the University of South Dakota School of Business.

Résumé:
Featuring 40 essays by U.S. and European historians, designers, cultural critics, geographers and social scientists, illustrated with over 250 color images in extensive visual "gazetteers" — including specially-commissioned portfolios by artists and designers — "Else/where mapping" investigates : how new technologies of navigation and location are emerging to chart "virtual" terrain such as social networks and online conversations; how these new mapping strategies borrow and reinvent metaphors adapted from the cartography of physical terrain, considered at various scales — urban, regional, continental, global ; how new modes of representation of spatial data are evolving to explore the potential for collective "bottom-up" (rather than "top-down") mapping ; how cities, communities and social networks are being re-envisioned, as artists and designers use technologies such as GPS, GIS and digital interface design to devise alternative mappings of social and spatial relationships. Authors : Janet Abrams, Ole Bouman, Andrea Codrington, Denis Cosgrove, Steve Dietz, Paul Elliman, Yuri Engelhardt, Peter Hall, Brian Holmes, J.J. King, Cathy Lang Ho, Andrea Moed, David Pescovitz, Rebecca Ross, Ben Schouten, Alex Terzich, Alice Twemlow, Dirk van Weelden, Tom Vanderbilt, Peter Walsh and Stephen Zacks.

Résumé:
''Daddy wouldn't buy me a Bauhaus'' collects the writings of legendary British wordsmith Janet Abrams for the first time. From pivotal figures in international modernism to the pioneers of digital medium, Abrams explored the ideas, theories, and emotions that fueled their work. The book's twenty-six profiles, written in Abrams's signature, personal, often hilarious style, include Reyner Banham, Berthold Lubetkin, Philip Johnson, Paul Rand, Phyllis Lambert, Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas, Muriel Cooper, April Greiman, and Michael Bloomberg. Many of the profiles are back in print for the first time, having originally appeared in Blueprint, I.D. magazine, the Independent, and in books and catalogs from the 1980s through the early 2000s. A foreword by Blueprint's founding editor, Deyan Sudjic, and new reflections by Abrams set the stage.
