Buckley Craig and Mark Wasiuta Editors
Dan Graham's New Jersey
Zurich: Lars Muller & Columbia University GSAPP 2012. Book. New. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 4to - over 9� - 12" tall. New tan linen HARD cover with black font on cover and spine and tipped in photo of Don Graham on back cover 191 pps. Pristine condition as it is new. We've placed this under protective mylar to assure it stays in this conditionl GIFT quality. Graham known for his series "Homes for America" now continues this theme in many of the photos edited for this copy. "To this day the theme of architecture and its surfaces represents an extremely important facet of his work as does the question of what role it plays in postmodern society and in the context of everyday culture. This publication presents new photographs by Dan Graham taken in the context of a study trip with the architecture faculty of Columbia University together with a selection of original photographs from the Homes for America series. The new images exhibit stark similarities to the old pictures because they were taken in the same locations in the same deserts of suburban streets and housing that Graham had photographed in the 1960s. This creates a fascinating reference system of repetitions and differences in terms of both the temporal and the spatial that asks questions of the viewer about architecture public space and their function in society." Intl shipments may require addtl postage. Lars Muller & Columbia University GSAPP Hardcover

Buerman, Luc
In de Voetsporen van Henry Van De Velde, een architectuurreis door Belgie, Duitsland en Nederland
Gebonden, Hardcover , 192 pagina's rijkelijk geïllustreerd met afbeeldingen in kleur. 26,9 x 24,6 x 2,3 cm ISBN 9789461610836. Henry Van de Velde (1863-1957) is een van de belangrijkste vertegenwoordigers van de art nouveau en het functionalisme. Dit boek neemt u mee op een architectuurreis naar een aantal steden waar hij actief was. Vanuit Brussel trekken we naar Duitsland waar Van de Velde aan de basis lag van het vermaarde Bauhaus. In Hagen, Weimar, Gera, Jena en Chemnitz bezoeken we ware architecturale meesterwerken. Via Otterlo voert de reis naar Gent, waar hij op 70-jarige leeftijd zijn belangrijkste opdracht kreeg: het ontwerpen van de universiteitsbibliotheek en de instituten voor Kunstgeschiedenis, Dierkunde en Farmacie. Schitterende foto's van Luc Buerman en vlot toegankelijke teksten laten u kennismaken met alom bekende én onvermoede aspecten van het werk van een van de grootste Belgische architecten en vormgevers. Behalve naar de creaties van Van de Velde zelf gaat in woord en beeld ook ruime aandacht naar de culturele en toeristische hoogtepunten van de bezochte steden.

An Illustrated Weekly Magazine [later, a Journal] for the Architect, Engineer, Archaeologist, Contractor, Sanitary Reformer, and Art-Lover. 52 vols., 1868-1899. [Continued in two vols., per annum from 1880].
77 Vols., folio, numerous illustrations throughout, first 6 volumes bound in orig. publishers cloth, re-backed, the rest bound in half hard grain morocco, spines lettered in gilt, some light rubbing but a very nice usable set. A complete run cover the nineteenth-century of this highly important and influential architectural periodical. Originally published as a weekly magazine from 31 December 1842 onward, complete runs such as this are extremely rare. Each volume is illustrated large woodcut illustrations showing newly designed buildings by the major architects of the time. "The most informative and influential works in the field of architecture... incomparable in the scope and range of their coverage, and they form an extraordinary record of aesthetic and cultural progress not only in the United Kingdom but around the world... yet the wealth of architectural information in The Builder... still lies buried in the weekly descriptive reports on literally thousands of buildings that include churches, schools, hospitals, town halls, libraries, market halls, office blocks, factories, private houses, court houses, hotels, workhouses, monuments, public baths, exhibitions halls, clubs, and even cemetery monuments, public parks, and engineering structures. These articles do not appear to have ever been methodically examined or presented in a digital format in a manner that can be easily used by historians, architects, artists, heritage planners, conservation officers, community heritage groups, students, restoration consultants or anyone in the related fields of research or in the building trades."?Robert G. Hill.

BUILDING MATERIALS: BRICK CEMENT MARBLE STUCCO
Concrete Building Block and Brick.
Chicago.: Atlas Portland Cement Company. Authorized reprint from American Concrete. 1921. Booklet black and white photo illustrations 23pp 9 x 6 inches pictorial paper wrappers. Very good condition. An illustrated booklet detailing the virtues of concrete building blocks and concrete bricks. The booklet informs the reader that "concrete block and brick if well made grow stronger with age and concrete brick or block buildings.are fireproof ratproof sanitary and require the minimum of maintenance." Obliquely referencing the horrific munitions explosion that devastated Halifax Nova Scotia in 1917 the booklet states: "When cities like Halifax N.S. have to be rebuilt on short notice they choose concrete block because it permits of rapid construction without sacrifice of its fireproof and permanent qualities." Another photo of an especially dreary building is captioned "Motion picture theatre construction demands fireproof sanitary materials requiring little or no maintenance. Concrete block meet these requirements." Further along another photo is captioned "Oil filling stations must be attractive safe and economical to maintain" all of which is assured through use of concrete brick. Overall a booklet in very good condition well illustrated that attempts the difficult task of inciting interest in concrete building products. . Atlas Portland Cement Company. unknown
