While visiting sixteen unique spots around the world, Friedman wondered what made strolling through, sitting in, dining at, or simply being there memorable. He reflected on the design of markets when he stumbled onto one at the crack of dawn in Dalian, China. He thought about the disappearance of folk art from neighborhoods when walking into a collection of life-sized sculptures in the Canadian arctic. He considered the relationship between cities and their natural environments when visiting Fargo, North Dakota, on a frigid day. Editorial Reviews About the Author Avi Friedman received his Bachelor of Architecture degree from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, his master of Architecture degree from McGill University, and his Ph.D. from the Universite de Montreal. He co-founded the Affordable Homes Program at the McGill School of Architecture, where he is an Associate Professor. Avi Friedman is the author of the books \"The Grow Home\" and \"Planning the New Suburbia: Flexibility by Design.\" He has written extensively on subjects ranging from prefabrication and construction technology to suburban planning and space management. Dr. Friedman has worked as the head of design for a home building firm in Montreal. He has designed housing prototypes that were constructed by homebuilders in the private sector. The \"Grow Home, \" a narrow-front row-house, received immense media attention and has since been built in communities across North America. The \"Next Home, \" also the subject of much media scrutiny, is a flexible and affordable housing type. Dr. Friedman's design work and projects have been covered extensively on TV shows such as ABC's \"Good Morning America, Dream Builders, \" and Stewart Brand's \"How Buildings Learn\" (British Broadcasting Corporation), in magazines such as \"Popular Science, Architecture, \" and \"Home, \" and in newspapers including \"The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, \" and \"San Francisco Examiner.\" Avi Friedman has been a speaker at meetings of government officials, development authorities, university faculties and students, home-builders, architects, and planners. He has received numerous awards for his research, design, and teaching, including the American Institute of Architects Education Honors, the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture Creative Achievement Award, the Progressive Architecture Research Award, the Manning Award for Technological Innovation, and the United Nations World Habitat Award. He is also \"Wallpaper's\" designation as one of the 10 people who will change the way we live--an award shared by noted architect Rem Koolhaas, Ingvar Kamprad, founder of Ikea, and Sven Mattisson, co-developer of the Bluetooth microchip.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IH PENTZ BOOKSELLERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42525482057890,"sku":"","price":120.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/products\/9781616890384.jpg?v=1661770822"},{"product_id":"world-architecture-international-style-by-khan-hasan-uddin","title":"World Architecture: International Style by Khan, Hasan-Uddin","description":"\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9783836510523\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTASCHEN | 01 March 2009\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover | 224 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModern architecture is not a new branch of an old tree: it is an altogether new shoot rising beside the old roots. Thus Walter Gropius, one of the pioneers of modern architecture, on the radical departures of the 20th century. In the 1930's, the term International Style came into use to describe a new form of architecture evolved from Bauhaus and its conviction that \"\"form follows function.\"\" Until the 1980's, International Style set the standard in modern building, with its rational solutions to construction problems. Combining steel, glass and concrete, it established an aesthetic founded on the sheer thrill of pushing to the limits of technical and economic viability. Hence the exhilarating skylines of metropolises worldwide; but also the desolate anonymity of modern suburban environments.

For New York City-based Leven Betts Studio, the design of meaningful spaces that bring people into an active relationship with architecture requires finding and inscribing in space the physical marks and temporal patterns of our daily lives. Above all, their work is focused on an individual's experience of a space with particular attention to how we navigate our surroundings. Their intense scrutiny of site and program a process related to author William Gibson's notion of \"pattern recognition\"allows them to take advantage of certain site-specific cues. It inspired, for example, their decision to allow the direction of crop lines in the landscape to guide the design of a 2,000-square-foot upstate New York weekend home. It is visible in the Mixed Greens art gallery in Chelsea, New York, where five irregularly placed beam-and-column structures inspired their design of a zigzagging suspended ceiling that glows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeven Betts: Pattern Recognition features 18 projects from the firm's critically acclaimed first decade.

The period after World War II created conditions in France for which architects were by no means prepared. Vast building tasks made it essential for architects, engineers, and sociologists to work together in teams, and it was not until the fifties that a new generation of architects, whose leading representatives had either worked in Le Corbusier's office or were strongly influenced by his thinking, brought about a change. In this book, the author shows that these young people shared the belief, which goes back to Le Corbusier, that all problems of architecture should be approached from the standpoint of \"humanism total\". How important Le Corbusier's theories have been in stimulating fresh ideas among architects in France is made clear in a special section of the introduction. In harnessing modern technical methods and materials, the example of Jean Prouvé, whose practical research in the field of prefabrication is comprehensively treated in this volume, has had - like French traditional skill with reinforced concrete - an increasing influence. While many buildings in the collection of examples published here reveal only traces of the new conceptions, others represent complete solutions some of which illustrate more important stages in the latest developments. A few buildings demonstrate all too clearly the effects of pressures and misunderstandings which a society, ill-equipped to act in the rôle of client, exerts on creative architects.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44906751557794,"sku":"","price":100.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/download_d8e19ed2-0235-48c2-a4e5-229a3fa5f735.jpg?v=1726047469"},{"product_id":"the-metropolis-of-tomorrow-by-hugh-ferriss","title":"The Metropolis of Tomorrow by Hugh Ferriss","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN: ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9780486437279\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDover Publications, 11 February 2005\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaperback, 144 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1916, New York City enacted zoning laws that mandated the building of “set-back” structures so that light and air would be more freely admitted into the streets below.

Hugh Ferriss (1889-1962), American draftsman and architect, studied architecture at Washington University in St. Louis where the Beaux Arts school was favored. Early in his career he worked as a draftsman in the office of Cass Gilbert until he became a freelance delineator.

The idea, according to Burton, \"must be simple, harmonious, perceptible and the product of a totality of experience.\" Following the careful observation of a site's natural forces, she lets her mind wander beyond professional knowledge. For Burton, landscapes are symbolic creationswild spaces in which the journey itself, a sequence of discrete experiences in space and time, is paramount. Her Bonhill Residence, overlooking Los Angeles's west side, was inspired by the elegant gardens of Sissinghurst Castle in Kent, England and is conceived as a series of outdoor \"rooms.\" In her design for the Santa Monica Public Library, Burton created a series of courtyards that weave the interior spaces together, and are integrated with the library as a metaphor for bringing light to the world beneath the surface of the ocean, in the same way that she perceives libraries bringing knowledge to light. Working with Moore, Ruble, Yudell Architects, Burton's landscape designreinforces the library's civic quality. Receptive to the nuances and idiosyncrasies of a site but unafraid to explore the world of ideas, Burton has established herself as a leading figure within the enduring legacy of California modern landscape design. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003ePamela Burton Landscapes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e presents nineteen of her built works for public and private clients, with sites ranging from beach to desert and from farm to city block.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44906770628770,"sku":"","price":480.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/41dGbHJF1LL.jpg?v=1726049661"},{"product_id":"sky-high-living-contemporary-high-rise-apartment-by-georges-binder","title":"Sky High Living: Contemporary High-rise Apartment by Georges Binder","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN: ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9781864700947\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eImages Publishing Dist Ac, August 3, 2006\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardcover, 256 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere are many books about tall buildings, but few focus exclusively on residential high-rises.

Sky High Living explores a selection of the most arresting residential tall buildings from around the world, predominantly from North America and Asia.

This superbly illustrated book reveals a Cuban architectural heritage that is often ignored or hidden from the view of visitors to the island. Drawing upon local archives, museum records, memoirs, diaries, and other native sources, Llilian Llanes describes Cuba's architectural history from the sixteenth century to the nineteenth. The evolution of Cuban architecture, influenced by climate and social conditions, parallels the cultural, political, and economic history of the island, and the houses and their decoration reflect periods of greater or lesser prosperity, as well as social inequalities. Courtyards, balconies, galleries, balustrades, grilles, and louvered doors: the evocative photographs, all in color, illustrate the subject magnificently with exterior and interior views plus close-ups of details. Extended captions explain the development of architectural features and the houses themselves over centuries and provide fascinating details of Cuban daily life, customs, and pastimes. 168 color photographs and a map. 168 color illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44912334078114,"sku":"","price":250.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/61FJNzb6aPL._SY342.jpg?v=1726222489"},{"product_id":"the-bible-of-classic-furniture-new-furniture-inspired-by-classical-style-by-daniela-santos-quartino","title":"The Bible of Classic Furniture: New Furniture Inspired by Classical Style by Daniela Santos Quartino","description":"\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9788499367217\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLoft; Bilingual edition, August 2012\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardback, 200 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFurniture design has always reflected the style of the period.

Brothers Robert and James Adam were almost single-handedly responsible for infusing Georgian architecture with the sensibilities and elements of classical Hellenic and Latinate design. Their elegant, sophisticated form of Neoclassicism affected not only architecture, but also interior design, furniture design, and landscaping.\u003cbr\u003eThe Works in Architecture of Robert and James Adam, one of the most celebrated books in architectural history, consists of the brothers' own selections of illustrations from their commissions. Dating from the 1770s, these 106 illustrated plates epitomize the style that influenced generations of British and American architectural and furniture designs. Created by some of the finest commercial engravers of the age — including four plates by Piranesi — these illustrations are painstakingly reproduced in perfect detail and clarity.

As such, it is the first study to supplement the more familiar political, military and historical analysis of the Israel-Palestine conflict with a detailed description of the physical environments in which it is played out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe banning of the first edition of this book by its original publisher was proof, if any were needed, that architecture in Israel, indeed architecture anywhere, can no longer be considered a politically naive activity: the politics of Israeli architecture is the politics of any architecture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44919286726818,"sku":"","price":100.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/618weK8AR1L._SL1200.jpg?v=1726569536"},{"product_id":"theater-of-architecture-by-hugh-hardy","title":"Theater of Architecture by Hugh Hardy","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN: ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9781616891312\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrinceton Architectural Press, 16 April 2013\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eHardcover, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e224 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eTheater of Architecture\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a breathtaking tour through Hugh Hardy's work, but also an education in architecture.

Recurring themes in his work include the careful connection to time and place; the construction of spaces that allow fields of opportunity; the use of generative systems; the role of architecture as a support for human activity; and the visible trace of building techniques. This monograph, the first on Stanley Saitowitz Office, presents fifty projects from more than thirty years of practice. The projects, divided by building type, are accompanied by a personal text in which Saitowitz plainly discusses his influences and interests. Landscape houses, often built on spectacular sites in Marin, Napa, and Sonoma, have evolved to include the noted \"bar houses.\" Urban houses, while compact and dense, incorporate a sense of volume; similarly, multifamily housing provides indeterminate space to allow for personalization. Buildings for schools range from the riverside campus of the Oxbow School in Napa to the structurally innovative Building 23B at UCSF Mission Bay. Among the public landscapes is Mill Race Park in Columbus, Indiana, an assemblage of constructions specific to both place and function. Finally, Saitowitz has developed a series of designs that explore the formation of a Jewish architecture, notably synagogues in San Francisco and La Jolla and the Holocaust Memorial in Boston. Stanley Saitowitz studied architecture at the University of Witwatersrand and the University of California, Berkeley. He is professor of architecture at UC Berkeley and has taught at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, UCLA, Rice University, SCI-Arc, the University of Texas in Austin, and the University of Norman, Oklahoma.

It is work that by its nature is on the one hand related to that of such artists as Thomas Demand and Lois Renner, but on the other hand - through its choice of subject - initiates a dialogue with work of photographers from the so-called Becher School, like Andreas Gursky and Thomas Struth. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis publication, containing an essay by Kate Bush, and an interview with the artist by Jaap Guldemond, illustrates how this still small but fascinating oeuvre is finding its own way within the wider field of photographic art.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44919365828770,"sku":"","price":75.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/511WVR7B9CL._SY342_6bcf0d94-34d3-46c5-9904-251d956ac8e8.jpg?v=1726575615"},{"product_id":"modern-the-modern-movement-in-britain-by-alan-powers-morley-von-sternberg","title":"Modern: The Modern Movement in Britain by Alan Powers \u0026 Morley Von Sternberg","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN: 9781858944050\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan id=\"publisher\"\u003eMerrell Publishers Ltd, 2007\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaperback, 240 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eModern\u003c\/em\u003e is the most comprehensive study of Modern Movement architecture in Britain ever published.

His many-faceted work was an elegant expression of European civilization at its zenith. This is the first comprehensive, scholarly work to place Boberg's contributions within an international context. The text and several hundred illustrations, including a considerable number in full color, cover the entire range of his output, from architecture and interiors to his especially noteworthy designs for major expositions in Turin, Chicago, and Paris. Boberg, one of the most widely traveled architects of histime, was instrumental in transmitting the contemporary designs of the American innovators H. H. Richardson and LouisSullivan into Swedish architecture. A large number of his important buildings remain in central Stockholm. They are designed in what might be called the \"Queen Anne\" style, with a great sense of three-dimensional form, classicizing details, bold massing, and symbolic as well as whimsical decorative details; a manner that is much in vogue among contemporary architects. In collaboration with his wife, painter Anna Boberg, his approach to domestic architecture in terms of an overall integration of plan, design, and crafts can be seen as a precursor to the vital Scandinavian modern design traditions. Boberg was also a talented artist, which is reflected not only in his architectural renderings, many of which are reproduced here in color, but also in a very large productionof charcoal and pencil drawings and etchings.

Why is this so? There is compelling evidence that what we really desire is not bigger homes, not more space, but better space.\u003cbr\u003eNatural Timber Frame Homes lays the philosophical groundwork for how locally available materials result in more durable and beautiful homes. It asks us to consider the source of our wood, stone, clay, and straw and suggests that this awareness contributes to our perception of character in a finished house. Building naturally also gives us the feedback necessary to be conscientious environmental and economic stewards and allows us to play a meaningful role in the creation of our dwelling.\u003cbr\u003eThis book puts the theory of natural building into practice by providing the tools to evaluate your area for potential building materials. Photographs and drawings pull the theory together into workable timber frame construction details with floor plans that are adaptable to your specific needs, including your climate and landscape.\u003cbr\u003eBeauty and character of traditional timber frame homes are a result of natural materials being crafted by the hands of the builder. By injecting ourselves into the process of home construction, we have the potential to live more connected to the natural world and influence the future of the Earth for the better.\u003cbr\u003eArchitect Wayne J. Bingham assists owners and builders in planning, designing, and constructing natural timber frame and strawbale homes. His work has been published in Architectural Digest, Popular Science, the Salt Lake Tribune, Intermountain Contractor, the Deseret News, Nikkei Architecture, and The New Strawbale Home. Wayne, along with Bill and Athena Steen, authored the book Small Strawbale: Natural Homes, Projects \u0026amp; Designs. Wayne and his wife, Colleen, have built their own timber frame and strawbale home in Teton Valley, Idaho, and coauthored Strawbale Home Plans.\u003cbr\u003eJerod Pfeffer combines a background in carpentry with a formal education in photography and journalism. A lifelong woodworker, he built everything from vinyl-sided apartments to custom log homes before getting hooked on traditional building. Jerod teaches others the craft of timber framing and hand-tool woodworking through demonstrations and workshops. His current focus is the development of nonelectric living systems to enable houses and people to elegantly respond to the climate and energy challenges of the coming decades. In his spare time, Jerod works on his own natural timber frame home and adds mulch to his forest garden in rural Idaho.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44921028083874,"sku":"","price":235.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/9781586858605-us.jpg?v=1726654087"},{"product_id":"design-in-italia-the-making-of-an-industry-by-stefano-casciani-tom-sandberg","title":"Design in Italia: The Making of an Industry by Stefano Casciani \u0026  Tom Sandberg","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN: ‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9788874394418\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5 Continents Editions, 1 September 2008\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardcover, 240 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe modern and contemporary furniture industry of Italy represents a unique paradigm: its industrial design production was created by the most important international architects and designers of the 20th and 21st centuries. While reams have been written about Italian architects and designers, until now no volume has ever been dedicated to those who contributed to their success. This book takes a behind-the-scenes look at the manufacturers who made possible the most important modern and contemporary furnishings, who risked and invested in innovative products, many of which have become icons of design; and who first believed in a new form of elegance. In a detailed historical analysis from the 1950s to today, Stefano Casciani follows the career paths of the manufacturing movers and shakers of the design world, all of whom are depicted in striking black-and-white portraits by the Norwegian photographer Tom Sandberg. These portraits of entrepreneurs such as Bruno Danese, Giulio Cappellini and Patrizia Moroso tell of the individual and collective experience of constructing the image of Italian design worldwide. From the Luisa chair by Poggi to the Thinking Man's chair by Cappellini, from the Tizio lamp by Artemide to the Glo-ball by Flos, the text discusses the past and present of the various entrepreneurial histories and the development of the culture of Italian design. A bio-bibliography completes the volume, making it a real reference book on design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44921055674530,"sku":"","price":200.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/download_0b8c96c4-6c9c-4e82-890f-98fe767f2524.jpg?v=1726654604"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/collections\/architecture-books-on-a-shelf-with-decorations-and-an-arcitecture-sign.png?v=1760101793","url":"https:\/\/pentzbooks.co.za\/collections\/architecture.oembed?page=4","provider":"I H Pentz Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
