Antoine Predock 3: Houses

New York, NY, Rizzoli International Publications, 2000. Hardcover. Illustrated dj; white cloth covers, embossed title. 197 pages : illustrations (some color). "Although Antoine Predock's practice is international, his roots are in the American southwest. His architecture draws from the elemental forces in any location, but in the desert it draws from the monolithic topography, expansive cerulean sky, and sparse geometric flora. Known for the way he incorporates references to the elemental forces - air, earth, fire, water - Predock's bold, fluid structures evoke the mythic nature that is rooted in regional culture and forms." "This is the first book to put together all of the extraordinary houses designed by Antoine Predock. Each of the twelve remarkable private houses featured here - ten from Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico, and two from California - harmoniously blend with their landscape in ways for which Predock is now so renowned. Characterized by environmentally conscious design, the houses display both exquisite refinement and an ingenious level of invention."--Jacket. VG/G, dj shows rubbing and wear. Pages clean and tight .

Colonial Architecture Series 1: Fifty Salem Doorways

New York, Doubleday Page & Co, 1912. Hardcover. Soiled and stained industrial cloth binding. Original edition of this publication. Two-page introduction by Glenn Brown followed by the fifty illustrations. There are also a number of original photographs mounted to the reverse of some of the pages whowing additional doorways or house features. While I believe this set was orginally issued as a portfolio of loose plates, the former owner of this book, an architect, had them mounted for ease of use and quick reference. Significant soiling and smudging, this book was used. Acceptable for reference, not a collectors piece .
