"Computational Drawing" by Carl Lostritto is one of the book designs that has given me the most joy throughout the creative process, and the final printed product. Its fabulous art content, the design challenges incorporating computing code into a readable text, the image treatment and layout to convey the nature of Carl's amazing prints, all woven together to offer instruction, insight, and theories that are valuable to practicing architects, artists, and scholars. The collaborative work with Carl Lostritto was a learning trip in itself...now looking forward to his new book, about to be launched!

Wander through a selection of literature's most beautiful gardens, from Murasaki Shikibu's Tale of Genji, the ever-mysterious Hypnerotomachia Poliphilito, Chinese masterpieces as the Chin P'ing Mei and Cao Xuequin's Story of the Stone to the works of famous English, European, Australian, and American writers, uncovering the sublime, and sordid decadence of human nature.

This book examines color through various periods of time by using information graphics and other forms of data visualization to visually describe color’s cultural role within society at large.

Austere Gardens suggests another way to look at the landscape, the garden, and perhaps the entire world around us. It suggests that being open to other ways of observing and sensing can yield new insights and rewards, and that interest is found in places unassuming and overlooked as well as those complex and assertive. Perceiving is only one half the story, however. Realizing places using simple acts and reduced means is the other half.

A book about the transformation of two city blocks in the heart of Melbourne, Australia. It tells the story of how Peter Elliott Architecture + Urban Design has worked, over the course of nearly two decades, to turn RMIT University’s inner city premises from what was essentially a private fortress into a public-spirited urban campus.

Ten years in the making, Austin Granger’s Elegy from the Edge of a Continent: Photographing Point Reyes is an earnest paean to an extraordinary place. It is a book about Sir Francis Drake and the Golden Hind, Miwok Indians and eucalyptus trees, sea lions and elk. It is a book about wind and fog, lupine and firs, starfish and granite and daffodils. Combining haunting black and white photographs with wide-ranging prose that is at turns penetrating, humorous, and poignant, Elegy from the Edge of a Continent is both a heartfelt memoir about a singular land, and a luminous meditation on how we make and are made by the world around us. It is, above all, a work of love.

"There's a secret trapdoor, a kind of magic key into every project," says Bartholomew Voorsanger, whose life and work are chronicled in UNFOLDED. The book, written by an award-winning author Alastair Gordon, is more of a personal memoir than a conventional monograph. It traces the architect's picaresque journey from an orphanage in the Bronx to an adoptive family in San Francisco, to the ivied halls of Princeton and Harvard, to an apprenticeship with architect I.M. Pei and the establishment of an independent practice in 1978.
