Paperback. Condition: Very good. 1. Pap. Minor shelf wear. Else very sound. It's been our distinct pleasure over the past few years to publish monographs on a select group of young architects and firms whose work represents the best of contemporary design thinking while retaining a distinctive regional sensibility. The Nova-Scotian architect Brian MacKay-Lyons fits neatly into this distinguished list, which includes Marlon Blackwell in the Ozarks, Rick Joy in the Southwest, andMiller/Hull in the Northwest. Those familiar with Nova Scotia understand the austere beauty of this Canadian landscape, with its wide open skies and rugged terrain pushing up against the Atlantic. MacKay-Lyons's work responds to this unique topography and to the vernacular building traditions that define its communities. His houses, commercial buildings, and public projects combine regional forms with local materials, technologies, and building practices to create works that are linked to their environments right down to their DNA.Peaked gables, shed roofs, and sliding doors are inspired by local barn types; corrugated metal cladding comes from the buildings used by the areas fishing industry; structural wooden frames are based on local ship-building traditions. These elements communicate a sense of place that is sophisticated, accessible, and free of sentimentality. Novelist and historian Malcolm Quantrill weaves together an intimate portrait of MacKay-Lyons and his work, elucidating the 'peculiar regionality' of his subject's architecture.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The work of the award-winning architecture firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson ranges greatly in scale and circumstance from private homes, large and small, to major university, public and cultural buildings.

Paperback. Condition: Gut. Pages unnumbered. Good condition. -- Glenn Murcutt's houses bring the minimalist Miesian pavilion and the primitive hut into a new and peculiarly Australian synthesis. The three houses covered in this volume chart the development of his architectural thought. The Marie Short house, with its shed-like appearance, is an early instance of Murcutt's interest in deceptively primitive form. Despite its tough exterior, the timber-lined interior of the building is a masterpiece of delicacy and warmth. The Ball-Eastaway house, designed for two artists as a gallery and dwelling, develops this sophistico-primitive aesthetic further. Clad entirely in corrugated steel, the building stands like a spaceship in the sparse bush, its smooth white interior an absolute refuge from the baked rock plateau on which it has landed. The Magney house, with its airy, expressionistic roof, marks a new level of confidence and maturity. All three houses demonstrate an alliance between the primitive and the refined that is characteristic of Murcutt's work. ISBN 0714828750 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.…

His buildings are a harmonious blend of modernist sensibility, local craftsmanship, indigenous structures and respect for nature. The book spans Murcutt's entire career, from the early modernist houses to his most recent commissions in the 21st century, identifies recurring themes in his work and analyses how his buildings 'marry modern architecture to the place, the territory, the landscape' to arrive at an ecological functionalism.…
