Résumé:
Cedric Price Works 1952-2003: A Forward-Minded Retrospective by Samantha Hardingham is a two-volume anthology, co-published by the Architectural Association (AA) and the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA), and is supported by the Graham Foundation and the Cedric Price Estate. The books bring together for the first time all of the projects, articles and talks of British architect Cedric Price, aiming to present his munificence as thinker, philosopher and designer. A student at the AA in the 1950s, Price established his office in London in 1960 and went on to produce some of architecture's most intensely imaginative and experimental projects of the latter half of the 20th century. His work is central in defining architectural discourse around the emerging postwar themes of mobility and indeterminacy in design. 2 Volumes in a custom-made slipcase, 912 pages and 512 pages respectively. 1,255 colour and b illustrations.

Résumé:
The 1970s was marked by a seismic change that occurred in the representation of ideas in architecture as they appeared monthly on the pages of AD. The magazine bears out the energetic, experimental, environmentally-conscious and ultimately pluralist culture that prevailed throughout the 1960s, carrying it through to the emergence of Post-Modernism in the late 1970s. This issue of AD presents a 'Cosmorama of Now', looking at such subjects as housing, schools, health, urban design and planning. Contributors include: Jon Goodbun, David Cunningham, Nick Lister, James Madge, Tim Jachna, Liza Fior, Katherine Clarke, Sophie Handler, Marie-Ange Brayer, Craig Kellogg, Valentina Croci, Jeremy Melvin, Bruce Stewart, André Chaszar, Howard Watson, Sheila Kirk, Nic Clear, Robert Webb, John Frazer, Will McLean, Chris Moller, and Samantha Hardingham.

Résumé:
Designed by Zak Kyes "The work, in full-colour words, pictures, drawings, films and wonderings, has been carried out from 1958 until this morning. Alongside Greene's own texts there are essays by Samantha Hardingham, Sand Helsel, Sam Jacob and Robin Middleton. 'The brink of a conceptual abyss - not a bad place to be?' David Greene (founding member of the legendary 'Archigram', this is the first monograph on his solo work) and his collaborators invite you to view projects that chart a peripatetic drift from form to invisibility, in the process illuminating the possibilities for architecture in a culture dominated by information technology. Accepted definitions and applications of new technologies are doggedly raised and questioned."
