Book Title: Architecture is not made with the brain Author: Smithson, Alison and Peter Arch Bk Stks: NA997.S65 A4 2005 Description: A great book. The insight of Peter & Alison Smithson is highly influential and inspirational. Submitted 11.30.2005 by : Dave Nedrow Additional note: "This book is based on a symposium held at the Architectural Association in London in November 2003. It looks at all aspects of the work of Alison and Peter Smithson from the points of view of the twelve contributors. Arguably, their finest work was the Economist Building Plaza (1959–64), and this is described in detail in the first chapter. Other chapters take different perspectives: working with the Smithsons; a client’s perspective; a historical perspective; and the work as the precedent." |

Book Title: Suitcase House Author: Chang, Gary Arch Bk Stks: NA 7450 C43 2004 Description: The best! This book has very interesting use of space & natural light Submitted 11.21.2005 by : Anonymous Additional notes: this website gives an overview of the building described in the book: http://www.arcspace.com/architects/Edge/SuitCase/ (accessed 11/05) "Casting a question mark upon the proverbial image of home, Gary Chang's Suitcase House attempts to rethink the nature of intimacy, privacy, spontaneity, and flexibility. Chang's uncanny prototype proposes a 40-meter long empty rectangular space built on wood strata, flexibly divisible by a series of sliding and folding partitions. That in and of itself is hardly earth-shattering. But lift a pneumatic panel in the floor and up pops a bathroom, a kitchen, a bedroom, cabinets. It's pop-up book meets designer living, and all in 250 square meters of space. A playful game for homeowners, the Suitcase House was designed along with 11 other radical houses for the Artists Commune project near the Great Wall in Beijing." |

Book Title: Mood Indigo Author: Lee, Vinny Arch Bk Stks: NK 2115.5C6 L44 2001 Description: Great use of vibrant colors Submitted 11.21.2005 by : Anonymous Additional notes from Amazon.com: "According to author Vinny Lee, "dark colors don't have to be overpowering or somber." If you've ever considered painting a room scarlet, or allowing a deep blue chair into an otherwise light and unthreatening white room, Mood Indigo will inspire you further in the direction of such bold statements. Lush photographs and commonsense advice are intended to spur on the amateur designer with a penchant for darkness. Chapters and photo galleries are divided by color: blues and greens, reds and purples, browns, and grays and blacks." --Emily White |
