Publisher’s Note In my last “Publisher’s Note,” in our Spring 2011 catalog, I hinted at some big changes ahead. I can now be less coy about this and announce (unless you’re a reader of the publishing business press, in which case you may already know) that Princeton Architectural Press has joined, at the beginning of this year, the McEvoy Group of companies, which includes Spin magazine, the publisher/packager Becker&Mayer, and, most importantly, our friends and colleagues at Chronicle Books, the much-admired San Francisco– based publisher and our North American distributor since 1995, and arguably the biggest single factor in our growth since then. Almost as soon as this deal was made public, some of the publishing trade magazines called to ask why I’d sold the Press: was it the decline of independent bookstores, always champions and showcases of our books, the bankruptcy of Borders, or the rise of e-books? My answer was simple: this is a partnership based not on necessity but on strategic strengths and a shared optimism about the possibilities ahead for both companies. The McEvoy Group believes strongly in the future of the printed book (look no further than the books produced by Chronicle for confirmation of this). As Dave Eggers, founder/publisher of McSweeney’s, recently wrote, these are actually very good times for books: more people read than ever before (including teens), more books are sold now than at any time in the past twenty years, and there are actually more independent bookstores now than there were two years ago. Anybody who declares that the printed book is dead clearly hasn’t looked at the beautiful new offerings in this catalog on pages 15 to 52. The simple truth remains that the printed book is an ecologically finetuned device, made of reusable and sustainable materials (such as recycled paper and soy-based inks), capable of displaying four color information at extremely high resolutions, and which can be made and distributed at very low cost and used with no external power source. All this without even considering the tactile and haptic dimensions of the printed, bound artifact, something which even the sexiest tablet will never come close to duplicating. See, for example, our book on Patty Curtan’s menus and artwork she’s created in letterpress and linoleum block for the celebrated restaurant Chez Panisse (p. 15) over the past forty years, if you’re looking for an example of art- and book-making that can never be simulated electronically. This said, it would be foolish to ignore the opportunities available to the forward-looking in the realm of digital publishing, and this is another area where we look ahead optimistically with the McEvoy Group. Indeed, you’ll find many of our books available in e-reader format at places like amazon. com, and hundreds of titles available for use, particularly by students and professors, at online libraries like ebrary.com and learningtree.com (details on specific titles available on our website at www.papress. com). When I watch my teenage sons leave the house in the morning with their forty-pound backpacks, I know firsthand that a lightweight and easily updated electronic course reader makes a huge amount of sense, and we are committed to making as many of our books available in this way as possible, and on the devices most consistent with our commitment to design and typographic excellence. So it is this dual commitment to the printed book and enthusiasm for the new frontiers opened up by digital publishing that culminated in our agreement with the McEvoy Group. As they were thirty years ago when the Press began, these are exciting times for publishing, full of promise, great ideas, and bright and creative coworkers. So rather than the end of a chapter, I think it is much more appropriate to think of this new partnership as the opening sentence in chapter two, the next thirty years. I’m confident you’ll find the books in this new catalog, whether you buy or download them, as rich food for thought and inspiration as any published in the world today. As always, we greatly welcome your feedback, ideas, and comments. Feel free to email me at lippert@papress.com or leave notes on our website www.papress.com.

Looking back at our books in print, it’s encouraging to see how much of our published past we bring with us into the future. We hope the following assortment of recent bestsellers will soon join the ranks of our timeless perennials. Much more than just strong “backlist titles,” the ongoing success of these books reflects their status as dependable sources of knowledge and inspiration for our readers.

“And now I sketch for different reasons—sometimes just to draw, sort of for fun, sort of as an exercise, maybe the way knitters knit. Other times, I sketch to work out ideas, or make notes of ideas as they come up—the same way I keep a notebook for writing. The examples here are typographic sketches that are different from what I do in average sketchbooks. They are part of our collaborative process. First we talk, and possibly scribble something. Then Dikko sets type and proofs some things. I cut it up and move it around into a rough pasteup, and he sets that up on the press and proofs. Then we fine-tune, and eventually, finally, voilà!” e st h e r k . smi t h, from t y po gr a ph y s k etc h b o ok s For more information about this title, see page 39

“Paula Scher’s giant map paintings, despite the fact that they are composed entirely of boundary lines, place-names, and information relevant to the identity of their subjects, do not depict any place. The hum of information overload, the fullness of the overwritten surface of the canvas, and a suggestion of wistful wanderlust bring a hint of thaw, but the icy disjunct between the land in question and its treatment remains absolute— and more informative than any depiction could be.” n e l l mc c li ste r , b om b m aga z i n e For more information about this title, see page 21

“Also called ‘radiant thinking,’ mind mapping is a form of mental research that allows designers to quickly explore the scope of a given problem, topic, or subject area. Starting with a central term or idea, the designer quickly plots out associated images and concepts. Mind mapping was developed by Tony Buzan, a popular psychology author, who has promoted his method through publications and workshops. Although Buzan delineated specific rules for mind mapping, such as using a different color for each branch of the diagram, his method is employed more loosely and intuitively by countless designers, writers, and educators.” k r i s s i x e na k i s , from e l le n lu p ton's gr a ph ic de s ign t h i n k i ng, For more information on this title, see page 19

â&#x20AC;&#x153;By inventorying the effects of change in a playful and accessible vein that, though couched in the phototypographical vernacular of the present, is squarely aimed at you and your everyday life, the book manages both to entertain and to initiate a process of cognitive retooling. To this end, it demands of readers a nonlinear approach to reading, based on the very forms of verbal-visual pattern recognition that McLuhan believed essential to survival and success in the second half of the twentieth century.â&#x20AC;? j e ffr ey t. s c h na pp, from t h e e lectr ic i n for m at ion age b o ok, For more information on this title, see page 37

“M. F. K. Fisher made a rare public appearance—one of her last—a conversation in front of a live audience: a post-event supper on the stage to honor and please her. The menu included some of her professed favorite things to eat: oysters and hot sausages. The stage was set with extravagant quantities of roses grown by her friend Ray Redell. As for imagery, I had only to think of the grace and beauty of Mary Frances in her last years, and how some roses produce striking scarlet hips, still stunning after the blooms have gone and winter approaches.” patr ic i a c u rta n, from me n us for c h e z pa n i s s e , For more information on this title, see page 15

[103] A Marriage Feast for Peggy & Robert} Peggy and Robert have a storybook romance. Both of a certain age with full lives already behind them, they were living in different cities and not looking for anyone. At the urging of mutual friends, they agreed to be introduced, and fell madly in love. They knew very quickly that they would marry and begin a new life together, and they are the envy of their friends for their utter devotion to one another. Branches of rosemary (symbol of fidelity and remembrance) form the heart. I cut and printed two blocks, light and dark green, and added the color to the blossoms and stems by hand with watercolor.

[28] Parsi New Year’s Eve} Niloufer Ichaporia King, author and anthropologist, cooks her fabulous Parsi New Year’s feasts at Chez Panisse every year and this one was the first. Niloufer has a collection of small, footed tin trays from her native Bombay. They are perforated with little holes that form designs of auspicious symbols. The little trays are filled with chalk and their designs are stencilled on the sides of entryways as a traditional welcome to guests. (The fish on the menu are derived from them.) The stencil designs began on the sidewalk outside the restaurant and continued up the front steps to the entrance. There were fragrant garlands of blossoms of tuberose, marigold, and gardenia over every doorway, and an intoxicating aroma of spices and frankincense. I found a handmade paper from India for the menu, and Niloufer’s husband, David King (brilliant mad scientist), volunteered to formulate a dye from fresh tumeric to color it. We set up in my studio and dipped each sheet into a tray of dye and spread them out to dry on every available surface. The color was intense and beautiful, but not fast, it has faded around the edges. The dye was also extremely fragrant. The studio pleasantly smelled of tumeric for months. The title at the top translates as Happy New Year, and it is printed in the auspicious color of red, as is the pomegranate, a symbol of wealth and good fortune.

Menus for Chez Panisse The Art and Letterpress of Patricia Curtan Patricia Curtan, with a foreword by Alice Waters Chez Panisse, a small restaurant in Berkeley, California, opened its doors in the summer of 1971. For forty years, the restaurant and its founder, legendary chef Alice Waters, has had a profound influence on food, farming, cooking, and dining around the world. In the beginning, Waters saw the beauty and aesthetic of fine printing as a way to communicate—at the outset of the diners’ experience—the care and attention given to the preparation of their dinner. Berkeley-based artist Patricia Curtan began hand printing menus for the restaurant during its early years, while employed as a cook in the Chez Panisse kitchen. Curtan’s menus, works of art in their own right, capture the unique spirit of the famous restaurant with letterpress and linoleum-block prints on beautiful paper. In Menus for Chez Panisse, Curtan presents four decades of menus— including dinners for special guests such as Julia Child, Hillary Clinton, Mikhail Baryshnikov, and James Beard—with notes about the menus, the artwork, the occasions, and, of course, the food. • The visual world of Chez Panisse will inspire anyone interested in cooking, fine dining, letterpress, or hand-printed art • Includes wonderful anecdotes about famous guests such as Julia Child, James Beard, Wendell Berry, Marion Cunningham, M. F. K. Fisher, John Cage, Mikhail Baryshnikov, and former First Lady Hillary Clinton

• Ends with an illustrated look at the author’s printing process. A selection of her linoleum blocks are scattered throughout the book

“Hello, my name is Thomas Thwaites, and I have made a toaster.” So begins The Toaster Project, the author’s nine-month-long journey from his local appliance store to remote mines in the UK to his mother’s backyard, where he creates a crude foundry. Along the way, he learns that an ordinary toaster is made up of 404 separate parts, that the best way to smelt metal at home is by using a method found in a fifteenth-century treatise, and that plastic is almost impossible to make from scratch. In the end, Thwaites’s homemade toaster— a haunting and strangely beautiful object—cost 250 times more than the toaster he bought at the store and involved close to two thousand miles of travel to some of Britain’s remotest locations. The Toaster Project may seem foolish, even insane. Yet, Thwaites’s quixotic tale, told with self-deprecating wit, helps us reflect on the costs and perils of our cheap consumer culture, and in so doing reveals much about the organization of the modern world.

Graphic Design Thinking Beyond Brainstorming Ellen Lupton, editor Creativity is more than an inborn talent. It is a hard-earned skill that, like all skills, improves with practice. Graphic Design Thinking explores a variety of techniques—from quick, seat-of-the-pants approaches to more formal research methods—for stimulating fresh thinking and solving design problems. Brainstorming techniques are grouped around the three main phases of the design process: defining problems, getting ideas, and creating form. Visual demonstrations and case studies show the design processes and solutions at work. Featuring best-selling author Ellen Lupton’s hands-on, accessible approach to instructional writing, this most recent addition to the Design Briefs series will help designers create projects that satisfy clients, users, and themselves. • Includes discussions with leading professionals, including Art Chantry, Ivan Chermayeff, Jessica Helfand, Steven Heller, Abott Miller, Christoph Niemann, Paula Scher, and Martin Venezky • Brainstorming is a big topic in business and product design circles, but little has been written on this topic with graphic designers in mind • Smart, compact, reader-friendly, visually inspiring introduction to the graphic design process

Paula Scher MAPS Paula Scher In the early 1990s, celebrated graphic designer Paula Scher (Make It Bigger, 2002) began painting maps of the world as she sees it. The larger her canvases grew, the more expressionistic her geographical visions became. Displaying a powerful command of image and type, Scher brilliantly transformed the surface area of our world. Paintings as tall as twelve feet depict continents, countries, and cities swirling in torrents of information and undulating with colorful layers of hand-painted boundary lines, place-names, and provocative cultural commentary. Collected here for the first time, Paula Scher MAPS presents thirty-nine of Scher’s obsessively detailed, highly personal creations. • Book’s dust jacket unfolds into a map print suitable for framing; many of the maps in this book have sold for thousands of dollars • Includes twenty-one paintings, four installations, and fourteen drawings and prints • Includes maps at all scales ranging in scope from the whole world, to maps of India, the Middle East, and Japan, to Washington, DC, Tokyo, and New York City • Includes a foreword by Simon Winchester (The Map that Changed the World, 2001) and an introductory essay by Paula Scher • Paula Scher’s maps have appeared in other best-selling Princeton titles, including You Are Here and The Map as Art (Katharine Harmon, 2003 and 2009), where one of her paintings graces the cover

Vanna Venturi House, Robert Venturi, 1962-64 Breaking with the starkness of modern architecture and Meis van der Rhoe’s statement that “Less is more,” Robert Venturi argued the case for eclecticism in architecture by declaring that “Less is a bore.” In the small house he built for his mother he experimented with many of the ideas he would write about later in his influential book, Complexity and Contradiction in Modern Architecture. These ideas included the use of complexity, ambiguity, and contradiction.

MR Chair, Meis van der Rhoe, 1927

Chimney top is to the left of the center line

The house is at first simple and boldly symmetrical in its reflected gable roof line, centered chimney, and dominant square entry. Yet the eye is fascinated with the off-center chimney top, asymmetric window arrangement, and the presence of a rectangular hole that is punched through the center of the structure. The strong diagonals of the roof and right angles of the windows are brought together in harmony with the single artistic stroke of a circular arc.

During the mid 1920s Meis van der Rhoe was influenced by others who were experimenting with the new technology of tubular steel in furniture design. Metal was not a new material in furniture design and iron had been used in mid-nineteenth century furniture for cast iron garden furniture, rocking chairs, and tubular steel for children’s furniture and hospital beds. Metal was cost-effective, readily bent, and easily cleaned. It was rarely used for home interiors because of the aesthetic

sensibilities of Victorian tastes for upholstery with carved and embellished wood, and because of the coolness of the metal to the touch. What was new was the simplicity and geometric style of the way van der Rhoe used the metal. By the early 1920s at the Bauhaus Marcel Breuer had experimented with tubular steel in the design of tables, chairs, desks and storage uinits. In 1925 as the Bauhaus moved from Weimar to Dessau,

Breuer designed a range of furnishings for the new buildings, with the most iconic and lasting design being the ground breaking tubular steel chair, the elegant Wassily chair. Meis was aware of Breuer’s work and also that of Mart Stam who had designed a cantilever chair frame of right angles from straight lengths of gas pipe and elbow connectors. Meis’ chair frame was cantilevered, similar to Stam’s, but instead of right

angles the chair frame used a curve of tensioned tubular steel. This curve created an elastic frame that bent with flexible tension and provided comfort without the addition of an upholstered cushion. The chair was available in leather and canvas which were laced on with ties, and cane upholstery that was woven around the frame. In the armchair version the caning was wrapped around the arms so that the arms of the user did not touch cold metal.

Proportions of the Vanna Venturi House The proportions of the house, with the exclusion of the chimney top, are 1:2. The main proportions of the house including the roof line and doorway are symmetrical.

Center Of Square Center Of Arm Circle Center Of Frame Circles and Alignments The circle segments above the entrance give some clues as to how the various elements of the house relate to each other. A series of circles, all with the same center point, touch on the architectural elements.

Golden Section Rectangle MR Chair, Front View The MR chair front view fits in a golden section rectangle.

MR Chair, Side View The MR chair side view fits in a square. The center point of the square, center of the arm circle, and center of the frame circle all align on a diagonal.

Bathing at Asnières, Georges-Pierre Seurat, 1883 Georges-Pierre Seurat was classically educated as an artist at one of Europe’s premier fine art academies, L’École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. The academy was the powerful center of fine art education and held a tight monopoly on exhibitions and work selected for exhibition. Admission to the academy provided an entry into the fine art world and likely future prosperity for its students. The academy’s demanding curriculum emphasized study of classi-

cal Greek and Roman art and architecture which included mathematical principles. It is here that Seurat learned about visual organization and proportioning systems including the golden section.

exhibition by the established Paris Salon and prompted Seurat to join other artists in creating the Société des Artistes Indépendants. Later, the painting was exhibited with four hundred others in the Société but due to its massive size was hung in the exhibition beer hall where it met with scant attention, tepid reviews, and criticism for the commonplace subject matter of working men enjoying a swim on a hot summer day.

Bathing at Asnières was Seurat’s first monumental work as a painter, and was completed when he was just 24 years old. The canvas is a massive 79" x 118" (201 cm x 300 cm). The painting was rejected for

Intrigued with color and its application to the canvas, Seurat experimented with a painting technique he had developed of crosshatching, which he termed balayé. This technique involves a flat brush applying paint with larger strokes in the foreground and smaller strokes in the background, thereby increasing the sense of depth and perspective. Later, Seurat would develop another technique, pointilism, for his second and final masterwork, A Sunday on La Grande Jatte.

Construction of the Golden Section Dynamic Rectangle The golden section dynamic rectangle consists of four overlapping golden section rectangles. Beginning with a single rectangle it is copied and reflected vertically, and then copied and reflected horizontally. 58

Golden Section Dynamic Rectangle The golden section dynamic rectangle placed over the painting shows that the focal point, the seated figure, is placed at the square of the golden section rectangle. The horizon is at the square of the reciprocal golden section rectangle and the diagonals touch the angle of the seated figure’s neck and arms, the back of the figure in the water, and both the reclining figure and seated figures in the background.

Construction of the Golden Section Rectangle

Taliesin Barrel Chair, Frank Lloyd Wright, 1904, 1937 Similar to Mies van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright designed furniture specifically for his buildings. Both architects believed in honoring the architecture with furnishings appropriate for the unique style and harmonizing the interior with the exterior. In the early twentieth century Frank Lloyd Wright was designing and building modern homes in a style that hadn’t been seen before. Flowing horizontal lines, abstracted geometry, and simplicity in

the architecture required furnishings with a similar aesthetic. Many of the furnishings available at that time were ornate and inappropriate for such modern architecture. Influenced by the Arts and Craft movement, the design of the furnishings gave Wright the opportunity to fully acknowledge the architecture with the interior furnishings as well as a venue for increasing his fees and profits through the additional commission of furniture design services.

The original Barrel chair was designed in 1904 and was said to be a favorite of Wright. The original chair had arms that flared up at the ends, a slightly thicker base, and thicker and higher back. In 1937, when Wright was designing, Wingspread, a house for Herbert Johnson of Johnson Wax, he needed chairs for the dining room and he revisited and refined the Barrel chair. The proportions were adjusted, the arms simplified, and the base was tapered resulting in a more streamlined and cohesive design.

The golden section rectangle is a ratio of the Divine Proportion. The Divine Proportion is derived from the division of a line segment into two segments such that the ratio of the whole segment, AB, to the longer part, AC, is the same as the ratio of the longer part, AC, to the shorter part, CB. This gives a ratio of approximately 1.61803 to 1, which can also be expressed 1+√5 .

Many of Wright’s furniture designs involved straight planes with angles, and the Barrel chair stands out because of the curved back and use of the circle. The cushion punches through the seat and can be seen above and below the wood frame. From the side view the seat circle cantilevers beyond the arms, reminiscent of a number of Wright’s buildings. The chair back slats continue from the back support to the base giving an effect of enveloping and shielding the user.

AB = AC AC CB

1904 Original Barrel Chair The original barrel chair was heavier and less streamlined. The back support was thicker as were the wood slats. The base used an additional wide molding.

The golden section rectangle is unique in that when subdivided its reciprocal is a smaller proportional rectangle and the area remaining after subdivision is a square. Because of the special property of subdividing into a reciprocal rectangle and a square, the golden section rectangle is known as the whirling square rectangle. The proportionally decreasing squares can produce a spiral by using a radius the length of the sides of the square.

Barrel Chair Proportions The refined barrel chair has pleasing proportions. Both the front view and side view fit in a golden section rectangle. The height of the chair is twice the diameter of the cushion, and the repeated wood slats terminate at the top of the cushion circle.

GoogleType Apply existing tools in new and fresh ways by working with the online platform Google Docs. In this twophased project, MICA students co-created alphabets, working simultaneously on Google Docs documents— text, spreadsheet, or drawing. Once the co-creative stage was completed, each participant downloaded the alphabets and imported them into CS applications as vector-based art. They used the co-created letterforms to design posters promoting a new book on media theory, Program or Be Programmed, by Douglas Rushkoff. In this phase of individual work, students studied composition, color, and hierarchy.

TRY THIS PROJECT

Use Google Docs to co-create an alphabet of lettering with a group of participants, working remotely, yet simultaneously, on the same file. Once your alphabet is completed, use the type to design a poster for a book of your choice. Start by developing three sketches. Consider hierarchy, color, and composition, and balance the co-created lettering with a strong but simple supporting font.

Participate Designing with User-Generated Content Helen Armstrong and Zvezdana Stojmirovic Foreword by Ellen Lupton Creativity is no longer the sole territory of the designer. User-driven design has never been easier for the public to generate and distribute. Users of websites such as Flickr, Threadless, WordPress, YouTube, Etsy, and Lulu approach design with the expectation that they will be able to fill in the content. How will such a fundamental shift toward bottom-up creation affect the design industry? Participate considers historical and contemporary models of creation that provide ideas for harnessing user-generated content through participatory design. The authors discuss how designers can lead the new breed of widely distributed amateur creatives rather than be overrun by them. • Challenges designers to transform audiences into users and completed layouts into open-ended systems • Four chapters—Community, Modularity, Flexibility, and Technology—explore the various approaches to participatory design through critical essays, case studies, exercises, and interviews with leading designers in the field • A companion website for educators will provide tools for bringing participatory projects into the classroom. It will include creative briefs for student projects, handouts, and lectures, as well as relevant texts written by other designers

n o employees should fall here

Bu sin ess a n d

I’ve said that the staff in the bottom-left quadrant should be let go, but what do you do with the people in the upper left and bottom right? Those who fall in the upper left and who get the culture of your firm could be coached to help them improve their skill set (and move into the top right). The people in the bottom right are highly skilled, but they just don’t fit in that well. People who fall in the bottom–right quadrant are far more difficult to coach, since it’s an incompatibility issue based on personality. I use this tool to help firms evaluate their staff. A lot about the firm’s culture is revealed in where the majority of their staff falls on the chart. The firms whose staff mostly lands in the upper right are typically successful and high performing. Firms whose staff mostly falls in the bottom right tend to be sweat shops. They hire people for their qualifications, not their fit. These firms tend to produce a lot of work efficiently, but since the employees are not very synergistic, they tend to stay by themselves, and the work product tends not to improve as rapidly as employees who work well together. Firms with most of their staff in the top-left quadrant tend to get along well but get very little accomplished. They love working together, but they tend not to be as successful. During economic downturns in our industry, this tool can be particularly helpful in evaluating whom to retain. This is hard because when you’re forced to lay off staff you often are forced to lay off people you really don’t want to lose. This tool helps you evaluate the right people to keep. F i gu r e 3

Marketing One lesson I learned years ago while at Gensler—and one that I cannot emphasize enough—is that you need to market and get your name out there when you’re the busiest. This is a hard concept for people to grasp because they’re fearful that they won’t be able to handle any more work when they’re busy. It seems hard to believe that you should seek new work when you’re in the thick of designing and building your projects. But if you think about the lead time required to bring in new work—usually several months ahead of when you’ll be billing a good portion of the fees and keeping your staff busy—you can quickly understand that if you wait until you “need” the work, it’s too late. The timeline may look something like this (depending on the scope and size of the project): f igu r es 1 a n d 2 It takes a couple of months to be courted by a client, another month to negotiate the contract, and then a couple of months to get through the project’s early stages (concept, schematics) where someone other than the principal and maybe one other person is working on the project. Add that up, and it can be five months before you’re actually working on the project. So it’s important to always be looking for work. For those firms that have built a great reputation and are highly sought after by clients, they may have the luxury of telling a client when they can start work on a project. This gives them the

process for attracting, interviewing, and landing a typical project

I’ve found that some people simply forget that the design business is essentially a service business. Except for the designers who sell products, most of us design something on paper that someone else will ultimately build. We need to remember that the two most important aspects of running a service business are our staff is our number one asset and how we treat people is the most significant part of protecting that asset. Whether it’s how you treat your employees or how your employees treat each other, or how you and your staff treat your clients and how they (clients) treat you, it all sets the tone for your practice. If you surround yourself with people trying to build a career rather than just having a job, you’ll both be mutually served.

Many people ask me the difference between marketing and public relations. Marketing is the research and pursuit of work available in the marketplace. Public relations focuses on exposing your firm to as many targeted people as desired. It can be outreach to shelter magazines, bloggers, trend articles, or any other source to introduce the firm to the audience you seek. To be successful at either of these efforts, you need to have a strategy. In marketing it may be how many past and new contacts you’re going to target in a given time frame. In public relations it might be the number of projects you’ll get photographed and published in the same time period.

Writing a Business plan When starting to write your business plan, you’ll want to begin with three key elements: a vision statement, mission statement, and your firm’s core values. A vision statement is the highest level of purpose for your business. The vision is a lofty goal that most likely will take your entire career to achieve. Someone once told me that having a vision is like the stars: we’re better off for having them in our lives, but we may never reach them.

No Nails, No Lumber The Bubble Houses of Wallace Neff Jeffrey Head Imagine a house constructed in less than forty-eight hours, without using lumber or nails, that is more resistant to fire, earthquakes, and hurricanes than any traditionally built structure. This may sound like the latest development in prefab housing or green architecture, but the design dates back to 1941 when architect Wallace Neff (1895–1982) developed Airform construction as a solution to the global housing crisis. Best known for his elegant Spanish Colonial–revival estates in Southern California, Neff had a private passion for his dome-shaped “bubble houses” made of reinforced concrete cast in position over an inflatable balloon. No Nails, No Lumber shows the beauty and versatility of Neff ’s design in new and vintage photography, previously unpublished illustrations, and archival material and ephemera. • The first international survey of Neff ’s bubble houses • While only one bubble house remains in America (Pasadena, CA), the design was used for large housing projects in Egypt, Brazil, and West Africa during the 1940s and 1950s • Low-cost, low-impact housing solution is a precursor to environmentally responsible, green architecture • Encourages a reintroduction of Neff ’s Airform technology, especially for use in disaster and impoverished areas

Smith House

Berkeley, California

Perched on a steep hillside in Berkeley hills with a commanding view to the south and the west of San Francisco Bay, is the Hagar House, a Mediterranean villa built in 1928. The Hagars wanted a house that “could capture the romantic spirit of California” and said that Wurster’s first sketch was “perfect almost to the finest detail.”1 The stark simplicity of the entrance court facade belied the gracious and comfortable scale of the interior spaces. The well-proportioned living room with its vaulted, crisply detailed mahogany ceiling and white plaster walls displayed Wurster’s sense of simple elegance. The immaculate detailing is characteristic of his tendency to pare away all the unessential elements and “let things be expressed

as they are.”2 Designed concurrently with the Gregory’s farmhouse in Scott’s Valley, this was to be a city house; a full-time residence, although designed with minimal embellishments, it still was clearly referential to Mediterranean architecture in its massing details and material choices. Most of the rooms had direct access to the outdoors and natural light from at least two sides. Despite the often-dark interior of traditional Mediterranean architecture Wurster didn’t compromise the pleasurable qualities of the rooms to suit a formal arrangement for the architecture. Gardens credited to Lockwood deForest had outdoor garden rooms that were an extension of the interior.3

Concurrent with the Gillespie House, this French Regency townhouse was designed for two elderly sisters and built in 1927; it was completed with the addition of a design studio in a front wing in 1931. In the original design, on Wurster’s insistence, the entry, living room, and dining room were painted a light green: “The entrance must have an appeal that draws a warmth to the person coming in.”1 The addition in 1931 at the front of the property enclosed a small formal garden court and also provided an arched passageway that allowed entrance to the original entry at the living room wing. The courtyard plan allowed the living room to open to two private gardens and made this small house seem expansive despite its confined site. Landscaping by the owner and William Wurster with “later advice by Lockwood deForest.”2

The Houses of William Wurster Frames for Living Caitlin Lempres Brostrom and Richard C. Peters Over the course of a career that spanned forty-five years, William Wilson Wurster (1895–1973) designed hundreds of residences up and down the West Coast. Like Finnish architect Alvar Aalto, with whom Wurster maintained a close professional exchange, Wurster blends modernism with the vernacular. Wurster described these homes as “frames for living”: spaces that could be fully transformed by the occupant to meet their needs and desires, well-designed canvases for homemaking. Authors Caitlin Lempres Brostrom, AIA, and Richard C. Peters, FAIA, draw upon extensive historical research as well as personal relationships with Wurster to tell the story of his career, including both residential and institutional building. The Houses of William Wurster features new and archival footage of thirty-three of the architect’s best-known houses and includes a foreword by Donlyn Lyndon. • Wurster served as Dean of the School of Architecture and Planning at MIT, and is regarded as the founder of the College of Environmental Design at UC Berkeley, currently housed in the Wurster Building • Features never-before-seen artwork from newly digitized archives featuring work by Ezra Stoller, Roger Sturtevant, and Morley Baer, in addition to new photography by Richard Barnes • An early proponent of green building, Wurster believed in practical construction and relied on local building materials whenever possible

Oak One Tree, Three Years, Fifty Paintings Stephen Taylor It was an exercise to learn how to see, to understand just one thing in its greatest detail. Stephen Taylor came across the 250-year-old tree while on a walk in Essex, England, six years ago, shortly after the deaths of his mother and close friend—a tragic time that brought him back to painting and then to an obsession with realism and color perception. He painted the same oak scores of times over a period of three years, in extremes of weather and light, at all times of day and night. Oak is nature’s creed of endurance (the tree was standing when Jane Austen was just a baby) and of one man’s promise to find beauty in a painful world. • Oak is both a meditation on nature and a tour de force of artistic technique • Oak collects Taylor’s single-minded pursuit, first made famous in Alain de Botton’s book The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work (Pantheon, 2009)

the typophoto governs the tempo of the new visual literature… The twentieth century was launched under the aegis of two total concepts of the book. The first is distant from the noisy, news-edged world of inventory books. It was articulated by the symbolist poet Stéphane Mallarmé in his essay “The Book, A Spiritual Instrument.” It dreamed of the entire universe flowing into a single total book: a book, both material and metaphysical, in time and outside time, that would fulfill and transcend the revolution inaugurated by Johannes Gutenberg. The second brings us closer to the world of electric information age books. It was embraced by early avantgardes such as futurism and dreamed of an exploded, porous book whose every page could become an all-comprehending theater of the present and a staging ground for ever-surprising futures. László Moholy-Nagy is but one early theorist of this Book of the Now: Until recently typeface and typesetting rigidly preserved a technique which, admittedly, guaranteed the purity of the linear effect, but ignored the new dimensions of life. Only quite recently has there been typographic work which uses the contrasts of typographic material […] in an attempt to establish a correspondence with modern life. These efforts have, however, done little to relax the inflexibility that has hitherto existed in typographic practice. An

the e/a switch The external history of the shaping of The Medium Is the Massage as a publishing event has embedded within it an internal history in which are nested two overlapping questions: the role of Fiore as designer/coauthor and the issue of just how the design and drafting process unfolded. At some point along this inside track, someone flipped the switch that turned message into massage, transforming the professorial one-man act of the author of Understanding Media into a McLuhan/Fiore/Agel triple threat. According to Eric McLuhan, that switch was thrown not by design but by error. Massage was a typo, welcomed in the Joycean manner: “When McLuhan saw the typo he exclaimed, ‘Leave it alone! It’s great and right on target!’ Now there are four possible readings for the last word of the title, all of them accurate: Message Mess Age Massage and Mass Age.”37 McLuhan’s biographers omit the tale of the typo. W. Terrence Gordon surmises that “by the time [the book] appeared in 1967, McLuhan no doubt recognized that his original saying had become a cliché and welcomed the opportunity to throw it back on the compost heap of language to recycle and revitalize it.”38 Philippe Marchand seems to concur, dating the shift to a May 1966 presentation at the Laurentian management conference where McLuhan led off a salvo of aphorisms with the oracular pronouncement: “No longer will I say that the medium is the message. I’ve changed my thinking. […] From now on, I believe that the medium is the massage.”39 The switch is repeated in a public lecture given at the Kaufmann Art Gallery in New York City on May 7. Whatever the case may be, May 1966 still situates the switch well within the book’s development time line. This would have been

taneously, even philosophical works will presumably use the same means, though on a higher plane, as the present day American magazines. The form of these new typographic works will, of course, be quite different typographically, optically, and synoptically from the linear typography of today.3

The passage is from Moholy-Nagy’s earliest Bauhaus treatise, Painting Photography Film, published in 1925. However visionary, the loosening up that it promotes became the shared undertaking of multiple generations and categories of practitioners. The spectrum was wide: some were professional designers and artists, others journeymen; some worked for illustrated newspapers, publishers, or commercial printing shops, others labored in the laboratories of the avant-garde. There was little agreement on terminology. Typophotography was the neologism Moholy-Nagy coined to denote the flexible, elastic, photo-driven medium of the future. Jan Tschichold opted for the umbrella phrase the new typography (with the understanding that “we see in photography exactly the factor that distinguishes our typography from everything that went before”).4 Commercially minded peers would instead have identified the venture with a new age of advertising, with the making of the modern magazine, or with emerging genres of reportage like the photo

Unlike mainstream counterparts like Reader’s Digest, they prided themselves on being elite “writers’ magazines,” with the ability to reach out to a “relatively mass audience” (the phrase is Theodore Solotaroff’s from New American Review’s premiere issue). Though they often cross boundary lines within the realm of writing, they remained textcentered. The word advertising is willfully absent from their vocabulary. Pressured by the rise of the alternative and rock press (Rolling Stone, Crawdaddy), the paperback literary magazine briefly veers off in a phototypographical direction around the time of the publication of The Medium of the Message. Some existing reviews like Evergreen alter their format from octavo to glossy quarto, anchoring every issue in erotic photographs. Others, like Ralph Ginzburg’s Avant-Garde (1968–71), designed by Herb Lubalin, ride the high (art) road toward luxury hardcover solutions not unlike those adopted by Horizon back in the 1950s. US: The Paperback Magazine takes the opposite tack. Squarely (if momentarily) embedded in the space between the alternative press and mainstream media, it represents an experimental incursion on the part of Bantam Books into the youth market. Sold issue by issue (not by subscription), it mixes underground comics (R. Crumb, Victor Moscoso, Spain, Peter Bramley), concrete (Richard Kostelanetz) and free verse poetry (Ed Sanders, Jim Morrison, Tom Clark, Ted Berrigan), and a hodge-podge of articles ranging from profiles of the Living Theater, Jack Kerouac, Timothy Leary, and Rex Reed, to personal/political pieces (Nikki Giovanni, Ellen Willis). The tone is mischievous and the prose unfussy (with four-letter words welcome), but the overall editorial standards are solid. The review’s graphic style remains eclectic, paced by visuals cast in a Pop psychedelic mold, low-end photocollages, photocopied title pages, and a high degree of typographical variability. A few pieces are built around

The Electric Information Age Book McLuhan/Agel/Fiore and the Experimental Paperback Jeffrey T. Schnapp and Adam Michaels Introduction by Steven Heller Afterword by Andrew Blauvelt The Electric Information Age Book explores the nine-year window of mass-market publishing in the sixties and seventies when formerly backstage players—designers, graphic artists, editors—stepped into the spotlight to produce a series of exceptional books. Aimed squarely at the young media-savvy consumers of the “Electronic Information Age,” these small, inexpensive paperbacks aimed to bring the ideas of contemporary thinkers like Marshall McLuhan, R. Buckminster Fuller, Herman Kahn, and Carl Sagan to the masses. Graphic designers such as Quentin Fiore (The Medium is the Massage, 1967) employed a variety of radical techniques—verbalvisual collages and other typographic pyrotechnics— that were as important to the content as the text. The Electric Information Age Book is the first book-length history of this brief yet highly influential publishing phenomenon. • Entertaining lost chapter in pop-culture history written with a light, playful touch • Designed to echo the look and feel of the original paperbacks. Features numerous full-scale reproductions of pages from the original publications • Features an introduction by design writer Steven Heller and an afterword by Andrew Blauvelt, Design Director at the Walker Art Center

he book combines three texts: “This World Is Off Its Rocker When It Comes to Women” is a speech about women’s devastating vulnerability to AIDS in Africa, delivered by Stephen Lewis at the 2005 Summit on Global Issues in Women’s Health. “Fugue” is a poem by Robyn Sarah about women marching—alone or with their children, carrying rugs, pianos, cats, and plants—to “the new country” where “there will be room for everyone.” “Bread and Roses” is a poem by James Oppenheim about the strike led by

women in Lawrence, Massachusetts, in 1912 when American Woolen Company cut their wages; the management eventually raised their pay, doubled their overtime rate, and promised amnesty for all strikers. One group of women carried a banner proclaiming, “We want bread and roses too,” emphasizing that they are not only laborers—they are also women who want to be loved and given flowers. The two themes that tie these texts together are women and community. My inspiration for the women figures came from a photograph of Sudanese women lining up to collect water. Through the strength and struggles of the women portrayed in each of these texts, along with the images of women finally marching off the last page, the message is clear: things can get better for women if they work together.

The door is the entire facade, including smaller window and door openings. It shrouds the storefront during the day and opens during nighttime hours. The surface is made of rusting steel, purposefully used to indicate a level of meaning beyond its functional duty. In KLab’s words: “The rusting material of the facade is a metaphor for the transformation in a deteriorating phase. The building is also transformational with the kinetic movement of steel plates that open to form windows and doors.”4 The differentiation between new and old is evident in this small building, especially since almost all of the surrounding structures are whitewashed concrete; the new rusting steel door clearly

The Nature of Place

A Search for Authenticity

A Search For Authenticity Avi Friedman

Avi Friedman After visiting twelve unique spots around the world, architect and writer Avi Friedman asked himself what made being there memorable. Whether strolling, dining, looking, or getting lost, certain locales pulled at his memory long after he bid farewell to the natives. A world away, he reflected on the market he stumbled upon in Dalian, China, one bright morning and the community-building effect markets have in neighborhoods around the world. While walking through a collection of life-sized sculptures in the Canadian arctic, he pondered the importance of folk art in connecting to a place. And in Fargo, on a numbingly frigid day, he wondered how climate should influence the way cities are designed. He took his thoughts and wrote them down. The Nature of Place is about Friedman’s intricate and emotional connection to place, and what makes these places “work,” and is perfect for the frequent traveler and the frequent dreamer. • OWL Award nominee (Non-Fiction), one of Canada’s most prestigious literary awards • Friedman is also the author of Narrow Houses (Princeton Architectural Press, 2010)

Toward a New Interior An Anthology of Interior Design Theory Lois Weinthal Interior design, as a relatively young discipline within the academic world of design, has historically been interpreted as an extension of other fine arts. Narratives exist, but they all too often treat interior design as a function of architecture or display rather than experience. An independent interior design theory is virtually nonexistent. Professor Lois Weinthal envisions a future where interior design is treated with parity to architecture and industrial design, a future with a new interior.

Toward a New Interior An Anthology of Interior Design Theory

• Weinthal has carefully curated (and in some cases repurposed) a collection of forty-eight sources that will form the foundation of interior design theory and shape future interior space

Lois Weinthal

• Organized in eight sections that move from micro to macro in scale: from the intimate core of interior experience, the body, to clothing, furnishings, color, mapping, private and public spaces, and synergizing the whole (a city) • Introductory essays by Weinthal illuminate the selected sources, prefacing and directing discussion of the material as it relates to interior design theory • Includes works by Wim Wenders, Le Corbusier, Aaron Betsky, Adolf Loos, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Ellen Lupton, Robin Evans, Jeffrey Siegel, Mark Wigley, Beatriz Colomina, Helene Furján, Steven Jacobs, Charlotte Mullin, and Wolfgang Meisenheimer

material for in situ castings, or prefabricated bricks and blocks. [Fig. 4] Ceramics are earthen materials that are transformed by heat into stonelike substances. Clay used to make ceramics consists of hydrous aluminum silicate compounds derived from feldspar-rich rocks, as well as mica, calcite, iron oxides, and quartz. The physical properties of ceramics depend on the kind of clay— kaolinite, montmorillonite-smectite, and illite being the three most common types—as well as the firing temperature. Clayware and stoneware have low firing temperatures (900–1300°C), while porcelain and oxidized ceramics are fired at higher temperatures (1300–2100°C). Common types of ceramics used in building construction include bricks, pipes, tiles, and ceramic panels. [Fig. 5]

Rock is the product of the crystallization of liquid magma. We classify the three types of rock based on the process of formation: igneous rock is the “original rock” formed directly from liquid magma; sedimentary rock is made of particles from rocks that have been deposited in layers and solidified by a process called diagenesis; and metamorphic rock consists of the transformation of igneous or sedimentary rocks via intense heat and pressure. The most common types of stone used for building include granite and basalt (igneous), sandstone and limestone (sedimentary), and marble, slate, and gneiss (metamorphic). Loam is an earthen material that consists of equal parts clay, silt, and sand. Clay, which has the finest particles of the three and is the result of decomposed rock, acts as the binder for the other materials. Loam is a relatively weak material and may be strengthened by adding gravel and organic reinforcing materials such as straw. It is also typically tamped or compressed to make rammed earth, or pisé for durability. Loam is typically applied in one of two forms: loose bulk

Earth and stone were some of the first materials that early hominids used to make shelter and tools. Many ancient myths and religions related earth and stone to human flesh and bone, respectively—minerals of varying consistency were seen as symbolically connected to the body and its duality of suppleness and fortitude. Active engagement with these materials marked the beginning of human prehistory as well as its end: The Stone Age constituted over 99 percent of humanity’s existence, and its transition into the Copper and Bronze ages occurred roughly around the beginning of recorded history. Loam, stone, and ceramics were fundamental to the genesis of civilization, and they gave physical form and order to the first cities. Characterized by their compressive strength, these materials were appropriate for the thick-walled, low-slung structures

“Soft tissue (gels and aerosols, muscle and nerve) reigned supreme until 500 million years ago. At that point, some of the conglomerations of fleshy matter-energy that made up life underwent a sudden mineralization, and a new material for constructing living creatures emerged: bone... The human endoskeleton was one of the many products of that ancient mineralization. Yet it is not the only geological infiltration that the human species has undergone. About eight thousand years ago, human populations began mineralizing again when they developed an urban exoskeleton: bricks of sun-dried clay became the building materials for their homes, which in turn surrounded and were surrounded by stone monuments and defensive walls.” [Fig. 2]

that emerged as successive layers of earth were laid and compacted to make the first load-bearing walls. For millennia, this striated architecture signified weight, presence, and longevity. [Fig. 3] In modern times, the use of the bearing wall has all but disappeared in industrialized nations, and has been replaced by frame construction with applied material skins. The persistence of earthen materials in contemporary building despite this transformation is a testament to their powerful legacy. Currently, stone and brick are applied as suspended or self-supporting surfaces on skeletal frames—a perverse transmutation from their original use. However, both the broad availability of many mineral resources as well as the perseverance of stone and ceramics as architectural membranes suggest an important future of earthen materials in building construction.

Tochigi, Japan Kengo Kuma & Associates 2006

When Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo in 1923, he specified Oya stone for a facing material. Located only within a 9.27 mi2 (24 km2) area in Japan’s Tochigi prefecture, Oya stone is a kind of volcanic tuff known for its resistance to fire and erosion, as well as its easy workability. By the time Wright selected the stone for its rich texture, color, and softness, it had already been used in the walls and foundations of Kanto region buildings for centuries. In the construction boom that followed World War II, Oya stone mining reached nine hundred thousand tons annually until concrete became a more popular alternative construction material. Given the opportunity to design a building in Tochigi prefecture on the site of an abandoned rice warehouse built of Oya stone, Kengo Kuma seized the chance to work with the material. The Chokkura Plaza houses a community hall and exhibition gallery, and the new structure is located immediately adjacent to

the existing building. Never one to use material in a conventional way, Kuma decided to make a porous wall with the Oya stone, inspired by its physical porosity. In keeping with his strong aspirations to dematerialize architecture, Kuma detailed the stone wall so that the material appears to float. Alternating courses of chevron-shaped stones barely touch at their apex, suggesting an impossible lightness. In reality, the stones are supported by a ¼ inch (6 mm) thick steel plate—strong enough to hold the stone, yet thin enough to be undetectable from a short distance. However, both materials perform structural work as a composite system: steel supports stone, and stone supports steel. The Chokkura Plaza embodies Kuma’s search for lightness as well as the true expression of materials. In the project, he sought “to oppose the covering up of the entire world with concrete and steel through the use of local materials and collaboration with local craftsmen in the creation of an invisible architecture.”

gantenbein Winery

When Bearth & Deplazes Architects hired Gramazio & Kohler to design the facade for an extension to a winery, the researchers at ETH Zürich only had three months until completion of construction. The clients had requested a new structure that would house a fermentation room for grape processing, a cellar for wine barrel storage, and a terrace for wine tastings. Familiar with Gramazio & Kohler’s explorations in robotic fabrication studies, Bearth & Deplazes requested that the designers apply their process to the exterior infill panels of the addition. Using an oversized image of a basket filled with grapes, Gramazio & Kohler created an abstract digital template to superimpose on the building’s 4,300 ft2 (400 m2) facade. They programmed a robot in their laboratory to construct panels out of individually laid bricks, and the brick angles were established based on the brightness of individual pixels within the

In contrast to a twodimensional screen, however, there is a dramatic play between plasticity, depth and color, dependent on the viewer’s position and the angle of the sun.” An automated procedure regulated the application of two-component bonding agent to the bricks, ensuring the panels’ rigidity. During construction, the seventy-two panels were delivered to the site on a truck and lifted into place by crane. The shifting orientations of twenty thousand bricks allow light to penetrate the structure at varying angles and intensities. The brick naturally tempers peak outdoor temperatures via its thermal mass, and clear polycarbonate panels located on the interior block wind and rain penetration.

The Concrete Dragon China’s Urban Revolution and What It Means for the World Thomas J. Campanella “Thomas J. Campanella tackles what he calls the greatest building boom in human history: the creation of whole new cities throughout China, where superhighways, theme parks, and engineering projects light up the night sky. Campanella is an able guide to the dusty haze of China’s ever-growing construction sites.” —Dwell

The speed and scale of China’s urban revolution challenge nearly all our expectations about architecture, urbanism, and city planning. Now available in paperback, The Concrete Dragon provides a critical overview of contemporary Chinese urbanization in light of China’s past as well as other earlier episodes of rapid urban development elsewhere in the world— especially that of the United States, a nation that itself once set global records for the speed and scale of its urban ambitions. • China is the most rapidly urbanizing nation in the world, with an urban population likely to reach one billion within a generation • China’s construction industry employs a workforce equal to the population of California • China is now home to some of the world’s tallest skyscrapers, biggest shopping malls, longest bridges, largest airport, most expansive theme parks, largest gated communities, and even the world’s largest skateboard park

This book is a work of practical history, with much contemporary relevance. • Lively, pointed drawings and photographs complement an equally fresh text • Takes in the fundamentals of designing and making letters • Lucid line drawings by Smeijers, along with greatly enlarged photographs of punches, reveal them as the sculptures they are

Human Space Otto Friedrich Bollnow Translated by Christine Shuttleworth Edited by Joseph Kohlmaier Following its publication in Germany in 1963, Otto Friedrich Bollnow’s Human Space quickly became essential reading within a cross-disciplinary field of subject areas including architecture, anthropology, and philosophy. In this first English translation, Bollnow conceives the human experience of space not merely as a philosophical problem but also as an extension of his research into psychology, human behavior, and the conventional domains of architecture: living in a building, in an apartment, in a house. Human Space is a remarkable investigation of space as we experience it, by a man many consider to be the father of spatial and architectural anthropology. This lush hardcover edition includes an afterword by Joseph Kohlmaier that situates the work in the context of philosophical and architectural discussion.
