2 comments about Softspace: From a Representation of Form to a Simulation of Space.
- Even through its subtle and discreet design, SoftSpace exudes sexiness in the most understated way. It captures the very difficult to define LOUD whisper of the contemporary in the most unorthodox way. It defines the contemporary aspirations of Design with very broad strokes crossing disciplines as varied as fashion, style, sociology etc. An important book if you seek currency in your design library or a great gift for the design/architecture enthusiast.
- Although compiled to benefit the architectural industry and academic
community, Softspace turns out to be accessible to anyone interested
in the life cycle of human culture and civilization and its ability to
adapt and embrace a new paradigm. This well thought out collection of
works by talented essayists speaks to our growing need of creative use
of materials to further efforts of design. It challenges the reader to
rethink their surroundings and to explore beyond conventional wisdom
and methodology of architectural construction. The compilation is well
written, logically arranged and smartly appointed with imaginative
photography and illustration. I would strongly recommend Softspace to
architectural professionals, students and enthusiasts.

1 comments about Cool Construction (4x4 Series).
- The first four volumes in the new 4x4 series, each of which features four works by four comparable architects. The concept of linkage is interesting, the four critics achieve an admirable synthesis, the price is right, and the books are full of useful information, plans and excellent photographs. Sadly, their accessibility has been compromised by a wildly self-indulgent designer who squandered eight pages on headline type, overlaid body type with shadow typography, and jammed in far too many miniscule images and discordant typefaces. ItÕs a lesson in how not to lay out a book and may scare away potential buyers.
The persistent will be rewarded by graceful writing, especially by the peripatetic Dubliner, Raymund Ryan, and Catherine Slessor, executive editor of the Architectural Review. For the record, the architects covered are, in order: Antoine Predock, Tadao Ando, Wiel Arets and Ricardo Legorretta; David Chipperfield, Waro Kishi, Eduoardo Souto de Moura, and Tod Williams & Billie Tsien; Jones Partners, TEN Arquirtectos, RoTo, and Smith-Miller + Hawkinson; finally, Enric Miralles, Gunter Behnisch, Mecanoo, and Patkau Architects.
