Book
Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. 'Figure/Ground: A Design Conversation,' is a collection of six dialogs on design between Scott Johnson and William Fain, the principals of Johnson Fain Partners of Los Angeles. Covering a broad range of topics, the conversations center on such themes as the globalization of architecture, the impact of the Internet, the issue of 'big architecture' vs. urban design, and the role of historicism in design. Along the way, Johnson and Fain find inspiration in jazz improvisation, Noam Chomsky, Roman urbanism, passive solar heating in China, Catholic monasticism, and Native American spirituality. With elegant layout of National Design Award winner Lorraine Wild, the dialogs are illustrated with photographs of recent work by the firm, including their plan for central Beijing and the new Native American Center in Oklahoma City. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: New. In this limited collector edition folio, Gil Garcetti's interpretive photographs of the steel skin of the Walt Disney Concert Hall evoke the mystery, fluidity, texture, and form of Frank O. Gehry's lyrical architecture. Garcetti observes, 'The way the light hits the building makes it feel as if it is exploding. I found that the way the light looked could change literally in seconds.'A natural sequel to 'Iron,' Garcetti's book of construction photographs, 'Frozen Music' is an essay in subtle modulations of tone. Garcetti's work has garnered positive reviews from Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer David Kennerly; Getty Museum curator of photographs Weston Naef; and architectural photographer Julius Shulman. The photographs in this book are meticulously reproduced in black and white duotone and debossed on luxurious paper removable for framing. They will be the subject of an exhibit at the National Building Museum, in Washington D.C., in spring 2004.
