RAYMOND, Antonin & Noemi
Crafting a Modern World: the architecture & design of Antonin & Noemi Raymond Helfrich K. Whitaker W.
The first comprehensive book in English on Antonin and Noémi Raymond, the duo sometimes referred to as the duo that creatively transformed design from 1917 to 1966, they are best remembered for a series of finely detailed structures built in Japan during the 1930s. The Raymond’s had prolific careers that included designs for housing, factories, offices, churches, and schools as well as furniture, fabrics, and graphic design. With a combination of their modern European backgrounds, and heavily influenced by the traditional vernacular crafts discovered during their travels through Japan, this designing duo collaborated with some of the twentieth century's leading designers, such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Isamu Noguchi, and Fernand Léger.

REICHEN & ROBERT
Reichen & Robert
This French practice has developed a reputation and acclaim for a number of conversion, refurbishment and restoration projects that blend the old with the new, program on program, and contexts with relationships. Initially, it was the conversion of a number of 19th century iron and glass 'sheds', including the Grande Hall de La Villette that won their reputation. Recent examples of work also include the development of one of the sites for the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, and the headquarters of Nestle France in a former chocolate factory. With projects realised in France, Greece, USA, Qatar and Australia (masterplanning in Sydney and the construction of an apartment building and hospital) Robert & Reichen certainly deserve their reputation. An excellent book for those looking for a range of projects where refurbishment and sensitive contexts feature widely. Birkhauser, Switzerland, 2003. PB 173pp $A 108.50

Rudy Ricciotti Ardenne,Paul
Rudy Ricciotti was born in 1952 in Algiers. He Studied in Geneva and Marseilles before opening his own architectural office in Bandol (Bouches-du-Rhone) in 1980. Since the beginning of the 1990s Ricciotti has been influenced by Arte Povera and his buildings have become more austere and functional, making use of minimalist and "low-tech" solutions. With the opening of the concert hall in Potsdam, and the construction of a foot bridge in Seoul, Ricciotti has found international recognition. This publication is a detailed yet critical analysis of his work to date. Birkhauser Germany 2003 160pp PB $A 110.00

Carlo Scarpa was a virtuoso of light, a master of detail, a connoisseur of materials. In his lifetime he was often dismissed as "merely" an artist who also wanted to build. Today, however, it is clear that his own brand of Modernism made him one of the 20th-century architectural greats. Major contributions to his fame, though, were museum projects such as the Gipsoteca Canoviana in Possagno and the Museo di Castelvecchio in Verona. Taschen, UK 2002 170pp $A 44.95
