Histaormina: Workshop 2001 1 review
Springer, 2002
Kept me hanging
After making so much effort in conducting a workshop of this type, this book only delivers some alusive images of the process of the student work. I was really expecting more deep information on what exctly conducted the results of this workshop. I was really disappointed, though is easy reading... about 15 minutes, about a dollar for minute!!!!!!! I recommend other books of Lebbeus Woods who ...

Wenn alle Bruder schweigen;: Grosser Bildband uber die Waffen-SS 1 review
Munin, 1973
No better book on subject
While obviously tilted toward portraying the Waffen SS as merely soldiers like everyone else(like Paul Hausser wrote), this is a fine reference work, one that any student of war could appreciate. The book is filled with hundreds of photos of the Waffen SS in action...as are most books produced by Europa Verlag/Munin Verlag. The introductory test is tilted as much first hand accounts of SS ...

Fantastic Nude photography
I've got an entire shelf of books on nude photography, but this is certainly one of the best. No "average people are beautiful too" here -- all the models are gorgeous and well developed. The pics are in both color and black & white, and usually take up the full page. Heavy paper, large size, tasteful clear photos, and gorgeous women. Fantastic.

Springer, 2006
Die Südtiroler Architekturszene hat gerade in den 90er Jahren in allen Landesteilen einen enormen Aufschwung erfahren. Für lange Zeit blieb die kreative Südtiroler Bauszene jedoch international medial unberücksichtigt. In der Nachfolge des internationalen Preises für ?Neues Bauen in den Alpen? von Sexten Kultur wurde allerdings das Interesse an den Bauten auch dieser Region nachhaltig geweckt. Anlass genug, hiermit eine erste umfassende und ...

Walter Pfeiffer: 1970-1980 2 reviews
JRP/Ringier, 2005
Pfeiffer's "Alltag"
JRP/Ringier is to be highly commended for re-introducing the criminally overlooked work of Swiss photographer Walter Pfeiffer to a new generation of ardent admirers. This second edition of the painfully out-of-print cult classic is a faithful reprinting of the 1980 Elke Betzel original: same size, same format, same sequencing of full-bleed black and white photographs, even the same untranslated ...

Kim Gordon: Chronicles Vol.11 review
Kim Gordon
Nieves, 2005
Kim Gordon has great legs
...but if you're looking for anything more than 20 pages of photographs reaffirming this fact, do not buy this book. Even if you own SYR5.

Andro Wekua: That Would Have Been Wonderful
Andro Wekua
Scalo Publishers, 2005
Andro Wekua?s hometown, Sochumi in the Republic of Georgia, used to be an idyllic holiday resort for Soviet functionaries. Today it is a zone of exclusion, empty and yet replete with memories: the house of his grandmother, the Black Sea, communist propaganda, a monumental freighter at the docks, traces of the political turmoil of the past. Wekua uses these fragments of personal and political history to create atmospheric paintings, collages, ...

Anton Schweighofer - Der stille Radikale: Bauten Projekte Konzepte
Springer, 1999
Mit dieser umfassenden Monographie liegt erstmals eine Übersicht über ein Werk vor, das in der österreichischen Architektur des 20. Jahrhunderts eine Sonderstellung einnimmt. Mit seinem Bekenntnis zu einem Rationalismus, der sich auf die anonyme Tradition ebenso berufen kann wie auf die klassische Moderne, bleibt Schweighofer fremd in einer Architekturszene, die das raffinierte Detail und die glanzvolle Oberfläche mehr schätzt als das radikale ...
