American Homes: An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Domestic
Architecture. Lester Walker
A
landmark of architectural history, American Homes
surveys over 100 American housing styles and illustrates them through
nearly 1000 line drawings. Using his own unique combination of
"exploded" diagrams and floor plans and easy-to-follow text,
award-winning architect and author Lester Walker has created the
definitive bible of American home design,
fully practical but wonderful, too, for armchair browsing and dreaming.
Walker describes each style's signature features, and how, where, when
and why the style developed in response to the landscape. The full
evolution of American residential architecture is represented,
including Dutch Colonials, Log cabins, Southern plantation mansions,
Carpenter Gothic's, Neo-modern styles-and more. For
anyone who has ever designed or owned a home - or just lived in one, this
book is the quintessential reference to America's
dwellings, past, present and future. And an absolute
bargain. Black Dog/Leventhal, USA, 2002. HB 330pp $A 35.00

Colours
of the World
From the chromatic delicacy of bamboo roofs in China to
the tangy-hued house facades created from mineral pigments in African
soils, the geography of color—a concept elaborated by Jean-Philippe and

by examining its geology, climate, light, and the socio-cultural

The Colour of Time: The
Photographs of Sean Scully
Snapshots of

nature & life: solidity & fragility, timelessness &change.
Painter, photographer, watercolorist, & printmaker Sean Scully
roams the world with his camera, capturing its surfaces in places as
far-flung as Mexico & the Aran Islands, as close to home as his own
