KIESLER, Frederick J.
Frederick J. Kiesler: Endless SpaceEssays by Bogner D. Lynn G. Phillips L. & Lebbeus Woods.
Architect, painter, designer, set designer & art historian, Kiesler was tireless in his pursuit of a radical new concept of interior spaces. His dream was a polydimensional living space, an organic continuum in which colour, form & light- combined with magical & mythical themes- would create a unique cosmos. This book examines the multifaceted work of Kiesler, but predominately focuses on his project "Endless House". HatjeCantz Austria 2001 PB 110pp $A85.00
Friedrich Kiesler: Endless House 1947 - 1961
One of the many merits of Kiesler's architectural concept for the Endless House is that it wedded profound artistic exploration to different academic disciplines such as psychology, the natural sciences, the social sciences & the arts. With respect to its demands on living space, Kiesler's approach to design set the standards to which today's ubiquitous "bubble architecture" must measure up.

Introduced by Lebbeus Woods it is a post-modern anti-institutional work focussed on the works of Lars Kordetsky.Springer-Wien, USA 2001, PB $A 60.00

Lagos Wide & Close: Interactive journey into an exploding city (DVD)  Koolhaas, R. & van der Haak, B.
Lagos, home to an estimated 15 million people, is a dangerous, polluted & dysfunctional city. Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, with the help of documentary filmmaker Bregtje van der Haak, decided to study this megapolis in an attempt to understand the hidden logic that makes a “dysfunctional” city function.

The many facets of Koolhaas come under review: his take on architecture theory & the conceptual apparatus he employs, his vision of urbanism & the contemporary city, the designs put into practise by OMA & the research projects of the AMO think tank, which exist outside the immediate boundaries of architecture.

Projects for Prada Part 1 OMA/AMO Rem Koolhaas
This book documents the work undertaken by OMA/AMO on the LA, San Francisco and New York stores for Prada. The projects relate to Koolhaas' ideas on shopping (see below) and the critique lies in developing strategies to cope with Prada's global expansion, and the inevitable problems in maintaining and advancing its corporate image. This book is thus a reference on architectural design for fashion and shopping, as well as a strategy on how architecture can influence and develop new ways of controlling global consumerism. A great book with plenty of research, but also great models, materials, concepts, tests, and plenty of other supporting info.

Breaking Ground: An Immigrant’s Journey from Poland to Ground Zero Libeskind D.
“Less a memoir than a portrait of a life as told through architecture, Libeskind’s book traces his past and his numerous project commissions, including his most recent and renowned contribution to the design of the new World Trade Center. Libeskind sometimes skimps on historical detail, personal or otherwise, in favour of discussing his architectural preferences. However, tales from his youth in post-World War II Poland and engaging anecdotes about his strong-willed parents, who survived Soviet death camps, are interspersed throughout.” Penguin USA 2006 PB 288pp$A29.95

CCIB Barcelona International Convention Centre  Mateo, J. L.
Mateo writes, ”The convention centre is the typical contemporary non-place. They are spaces of large dimension where flexibility is restricted to produce architectural non-expressivity, tending to absolute rubbish.” 
The CCIB is one of the main structures that housed the 2004 Forum of Cultures. A combination of massive concrete and high precision, large-span steel, the structure has been described as “simultaneously conventional and monstrous, banal and superhuman”. It is not properly a building but a set of objects of differing functions: hotel, office building, large and small exhibition spaces, public lobbies, and restaurants etc. “CCIB” is a record of how Mateo dealt with the challenge of Barcelona. Mateo’s work has been much admired by other architects and this handsomely presented volume has proved very popular. Actar, Spain, 2005, 314pp, HB. $A 75.00
