1 comments about Architecture: Art.
- Prestel publishes quality books both in terms of construction quality as well as its context. This book is no exception. The question as to when is architecture art and art architecture has been debated since their birht. Instead of providing an answer to this debatable topic, this book provides a compilation of projects that acts as a reference so that the reader can surmise his own. Projects include Christo and Jeanne-Claude's The Gates, Frank Gehry's DG Bank, Eric Owen Moss' The Umbrella, etc. Each project is laid out in either a 2 or 4 page spread with text featuring the designer's background as well as the project description. After reading this book, one has to realize that it is not so important to categorize these projects into absolutes, but rather both/and instead of either/or.

This book is a collection of illustrated papers by British architects Jonathan Sergison and Stephen Bates written between 2002 and 2007.
Writing, like drawing and talking together, supports their collaborative and creative work, providing as it does a tangible reference point for communication and in the search for shared objectives. Although each of the papers included in this volume was written by one of the architects, they acknowledge shared authorship of their content and objective. In the preparation of each paper, the observer acts as a friendly critic to the write, integral to the process and supportive of the exploration of personal and shared experience.
Some of theses papers wrere written as a result of self-imposed discipline, others were prepared as lectures, to support their teaching practice, to highlight a particular theme or encourage a way of looking at something. Others were written as contributions towards symposia, conferences and publications, or in response to invitations to speak publicly about their work. In some cases, a lecture based on notes and images has been subsuquently developed for publication. This results in a rich mix in terms of contet, lenght, structure and character.
The twenty papers are organised thematically and chronologically within each section, addressing reflections on their own position within architectural discourse, on the process of making buildings, on some of the ideas that recur in their work and on aspects of place
