1 comments about From Shinto to Ando: Studies in Architectural Anthropology in Japan.
- This book is an extremely informative study on the Japanese concepts of space making. It demonstrates how Shinto beliefs are manifested in the traditional work of architecture as well as the work of one of the world's most reknown Japanese modern architect Tadao Ando. Unlike other books on Ando, this book emphasizes on the experiential aspects of Ando's work and his ingenious ways of manipulating sequences of space with light. These sequences are described meticulously and analyzed with a lot of penetrating insights. A truly enlightening book.

1 comments about Discovering Cottage Architecture (Shire Discovering).
- I have always had an interest in vernacular cottage architecture and the processes that shape it. While I am not a professional architect or construction contractor, I find that most books dealing with cottage architecture focus either on interior decorating in the "country style" or whimsical meanderings of "simpler times." There isn't much written (yet) about HOW these buildings came into being, who built them, and how they did it. This little book certainly makes an attempt to fill the void, and does a marvelous job (although it could have gone a bit further). The book looks at cottage building (in England) from it's earliest forms right through to the early modern period. It covers social aspects that influenced cottage construction, and gives detailed drawings and diagrams showing how cottages were planned and executed. Very clear, very succinct, VERY INTERESTING. It lost a star (only rating 4 stars) only because it's painfully SMALL -- literally a POCKET book on a subject that really needs to be covered with the kind of detail the book attempts (in it's limited space). Still, a refreshing read, and very educational/informative, especially to anyone interested in the more "nuts 'n bolts" aspects of when/where/why/HOW of cottage construction. A+
