Fore-Closed: Rehoming the American Dream
New York, Musuem of Modern Art, 2012. Paperback. Color-illustrated wraps with white lettering. 182 pp. Color and BW illustrations, maps, plans, portraits. Foreclosed: Rehousing the American Dream is an exploration of new architectural possibilities for American cities and suburbs in the aftermath of the recent foreclosure crisis in the United States. During the summer of 2011, five interdisciplinary teams of architects, urban planners, ecologists, engineers and landscape designers were enlisted by The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and MoMA PS1 to envision new housing infrastructures that could catalyze urban transformation, particularly in the country's suburbs. Drawing on ideas proposed in The Buell Hypothesis, a research publication prepared by the Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture at Columbia University, each team focused on a specific location within a "megaregion" to come up with inventive solutions for the future of housing and cities. This publication presents each of these proposals. -Amazon. VG .

Form Follows Fiasco: Why Modern Architecture Hasn't Worked
Boston/Toronto, Little Brown and Company / An Atlantic Monthly Press Book, 1977. Hardcover. grey cloth boards w/ black cloth quarter spine. 169 pgs w/ 133 bw illustrations. glossy, grey & white illustrated dustjacket. Skillfully blending documentation and illustrations, and gradually sharpening polemic and humor, Blake calmly explodes the fantasies of modern dogma that most architects once accepted. Such truisms as 'form follows function', 'the open plan,' and 'purity of design' are exposed as volatile ideas. The intricately planned, artistically designed components of the Ideal City have divided urban areas into tidy ghettos of culture, education, business, residence..even pornography..alienating individuals and threatening not only the economic futures of our cities, but civilized aspects of life in the West as well.--dustjacket.

Numerous experiments are given in illustration of the theory of advanced, both for symmetrical arches as well as for unsymmetrical arches, or arches unsymmetrically loaded.

Allied Works Architecture: Arquitectura 2003-2022
Valencia, Spain, General de Ediciones de Arquitectura, 2022. Paperback. Black and color-photo-illustrated wraps with white lettering; 330 pp.; richly illustrated. This monograph brings together the best of the last two decades of production by the North American studio Allied Works, founded by Brad Cloepfil in Oregon in 1994. The name of the studio is an affirmation of architecture understood, not as an isolated discipline, but as a conversation between diverse creative practices that inspire unique and individual responses. In their essay "Sitings" they reflect on the state of architectural practice and defend the idea of a sensitive architecture, which finds its power in the amplification of the forces that inhabit a place. Culture, topography, light, climate, and plant life are those forces that give buildings lasting meaning. His first big project was an adaptive reuse of a Portland warehouse for the Wieden + Kennedy advertising agency. Since then, Allied Works have completed cultural, commercial, and residential projects, including the St. Louis Museum of Contemporary Art, the University of Michigan Art Museum, and the Clyfford Still Museum. This book comes at its best, showing, after more than 25 years of efforts, what we want architecture to be: sustainable, transformable and capable of creating community." -- Provided by publisher. Good (Wraps are lightly edgeworn/scuffed/smudged; textblock edges are lightly worn/smudged; interior is clean; binding is solid.) .
