Chile: Crypt and House (O'Neil Ford Duograph)
Rodrigo Perez de Arce, Smiljan Radic

Wasmuth, 2008

This volume focuses on two architectural projects that, taken together, provide a telling glimpse into the Chilean culture and landscape--from its colonial legacy to its magnificent coast. Smiljan Radic's House in Punta Pite merges vernacular architecture with a crisp, Modernist sense of design to create a structure that blends intimately with the expansive coast, while Rodrigo Perez de Arce, in creating a newly designed crypt for the ...

Beginning in the 1920s, and especially after the Nazis introduced the Nuremberg Race Laws in the 1930s, more than 130 Jewish architects chose to leave their native Germany and begin afresh in Palestine. Many of them, including Alex Baerwald and Harry Rosenthal, left behind significant buildings that were already central to the urban image of Berlin. Nevertheless, upon arriving in their new desert home, completely unaccustomed to the climate, the ...

One of the foremost architectural renderers of the 20th century, Helmut Jacoby's presentation drawings of such masters as Philip Johnson, Eero Saarinen, I.M.

Wasmuth, 2006

For art design; light in text
This book is really intended for those looking to use the provided motif artwork for use in art design, tattoo work, etc...

Little detail is provided for each work other than the period and title. Back of the book contains a ...
