Brett, David C.R. Mackintosh: The Poetics of Workmanship
United Kingdom Reaktion Books 1992 0948462221 / 9780948462221 Trade Paperback Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Fine condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine, clean pages. Nicely illustrated throughout. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 152 pages. Synopsis Between 1896 and 1906, Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928) produced a series of buildings and interiors in and around Glasgow of such startling invention that he immediately established himself as one of the truly great figures in early twentieth-century architecture and design. David Brett argues that Mackintosh's originality was grounded in a highly subjective "poetics of workmanship", in which the structure, features, interiors and furnishings of each individual building became subject to a unifying system of forms, metaphors and unconscious associations. The system Mackintosh evolved allowing for the formulation of an almost infinite series of ensembles. After focusing on the various decorative details and interior spaces of Mackintosh's buildings the author reaches to the heart of Mackintosh's poetic system - the suffused eroticism of the sleek, "feminine" and intensely private "white interiors". A notable feature of this persuasive reappraisal of Mackintosh's work is the wealth of photographs by the author showing rarely featured details of buildings, interiors and furnishings.

Day, Christopher Places of the Soul: Architecture and Environmental Design As Healing Art
Thorsons Pub 1995 1855383055 / 9781855383050 Trade Paperback Near-Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Near-fine condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine, bright pages. Illustrated throughout. 192 pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. - Synopsis Revised to incorporate the changes in opinions and attitudes since its first publication, the second edition of 'Places of the Soul' has brought Christopher Day's classic text into the 21st century. This new edition of the seminal text reminds us that true sustainable design does not simply mean energy efficient building. Sustainable buildings must provide for the 'soul'. For Christopher Day architecture is not just about a building's appearance, but how the building is experienced. 'Places of the Soul' presents buildings as environment, intrinsic to their surroundings, and offers design principles that will open the eyes of the architecture student and professional alike, presenting ideas quite different to the orthodoxy of modern architectural education. Christopher Day's experience as an architect, self-builder, professor and sculptor have all added to the development of his ideas that encompass issues of economic and social sustainability, commercial pressures and consensus design. This book presents these ideas and outlines universal principles that will be of interest and value to architects, builders, planners and developers alike. * Author is leading authority in this field and has a throng of devoted admirers * 1st edition is considered a classic in the industry and it has been renewed for the 21st century * Sustainability and environmental design is one of the key areas of interest and study for architects today

Gill, Brendan Many Masks: A Life of Frank Lloyd Wright
Ballantine Books 1988 0345356985 / 9780345356987 Trade Paperback Near-Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
A photo of this book is available. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine, bright pages. Nicely illustrated. 544 pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Covers are clean (NO tears). Synopsis Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is often described as the greatest of American architects. His works—among them Taliesin North, Taliesin West, Fallingwater, the Johnson Wax buildings, the Guggenheim Museum earned him a good measure of his fame, but his flamboyant personal life earned him the rest. Here Brendan Gill, a personal friend of Wright and his family, gives us not only the fullest, fairest, and most entertaining account of Wright to date, but also strips away the many masks the architect tirelessly constructed to fascinate his admirers and mislead his detractors. Enriched by hitherto unpublished letters and 300 photographs and drawings, this definitive biography makes Wright, in all his creativity, crankiness, and zest, fairly leap from its pages. Chicago Tribune The liveliest, most astringent and eminently readable biography of Wright yet published. Biography Brendan Gill (1914-1997) was a staff writer for theNew Yorker for over sixty years. He was the author of over twenty books, including his memoir, Here at the New Yorker (also available from Da Capo Press/Perseus Books Group), three works of fiction, and biographies of Cole Porter, Tallulah Bankhead, and Charles Lindbergh.
