4.Palladio and Palladianism (World of Art) by: Robert Tavernor April 02, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £3.65
Andrea Palladio, probably the most famous architect in the western world, stands at the beginning of the movement called Palladianism. So successful was the Palladian formula that it was consciously revived outside of Italy and in other times, first by Inigo Jones at the court of Charles I in the early 17th century, by Colen Campbell and Lord Burlington in the early 18th century, and by Thomas Jefferson and others in the New World. In each case, what was appealing about Palladianism was more than a matter of style: it was the fact that it expressed a way of life and a humanist philosophy, deriving ultimately from ancient Rome but enriched by the thinkers of the Renaissance and the Augustan Age. Sir John Summerson, reviewing ... Read More:

5.Hundertwasser (Taschen 25th Anniversary) by: Harry Rand October 05, 2007

The colours of Hundertwasser's paintings practically leap off the pages at the reader. I have several Taschen 25th Anniversary books on artists, but IMHO Harry Rand's book on Hundertwasser is the best yet! Told in English as a series of intimate interviews between Rand and the artist, it contains hundreds of colour and black&white pictures of Hundertwasser's art and of the Man himself. I knew nothing about Hundertwasser before I bought the book, but I bought the book because the vibrant, pulsating colours of the dustcover called to me. Inside, page after page of the most beautifully coloured paintings led me into a fantasy world filled with lines, spirals, circles and always those vibrant colours. Hundertwasser has now become my ... Read More:

6.Ando: Modern Minimalism with a Japanese Touch (Basic Architecture Series) by: Masao Furuyama February 02, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £5.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.79 You Save: £1.20 (20%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.79
The slim volume of less than one hundred pages and small format is in a way in harmony with the minimalist aesthetics of the charismatic architect. The book is a distillate of beauty. The exquisite colour photographs display the magic of the spare aesthetics, elegance and strength of Ando's buildings and surrounding landscape. The accompanying text is succinct and incisive and does justice to the architect and its creations through dissecting and providing a penetrating analysis of the elements that characterize Ando's architecture and individual buildings. In all, nineteen projects are presented covering a broad spectrum of Ando's work comprising houses, apartment buildings, churches, temples, museums, art foundations, ... Read More:

8.Towards a New Architecture by: Le Corbusier February 01, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £4.54
Le Corbousier's mathematical and, at times, brutal approach to architecture is clearly and coherently laid out in this gem of a book. He is very to the point and uses words and ideas that can plainly be understood by his audience. This book is not as bad as some people say it is - Le Corbousier's just not a romantic like the rest of us!

Buying this book at the exhibition at the Guggenheim museum in New York felt natural after spending hours looking at her drawings, paintings, models, movie interviews and products, and the book did'nt dissapoint me. Maybe except for lacking a few versions of her biggest paintings, but it does not matter so much. Even if you might be unsure that Zaha Hadid, the first female Pritzker price winner may have architecture that is new to the architect world, this book is a very fine overview of her production. And even if you might not find the similarities between her presentations of a building, her paintings, her models and the building itself, this book presents her in a good way and lets you study her architecure on paper and her techniques. ...
