Koenig designed some of Los Angeles' most admired houses and was a pioneer of what came to be described as the 'Case Study House Program'. This is the first comprehensive survey of his entire career and includes photographs, sketches and drawings.

India is a nation with a rich, sophisticated culture, but also a country undergoing rapid modernization. In this dynamic context, the architecture of Balkrishna Doshi deploys the strengths of tradition and modernism in a powerful combination, infusing bold new forms with an intricate social, historical, and cultural awareness. Doshi's concern for order, climatic responsiveness, materials, and cultural expression is primary; James Steele examines the full and extraordinary range of his ideas, which encompasses ancient Hindu geometry, contemporary town planning, village typologies, modular standardization, mysticism, and myth. Photographs, plans, and drawings by the architect illustrate informed commentaries on Doshi's most notable projects to date. Some texts by Doshi, written to accompany his original concepts, are published here for the first time. With a comprehensive illustrated chronology of all his work, this study is indispensable not only for anyone with an overall interest in contemporary architecture but also for those who have a particular concern for the evolution of traditional forms within a context of humane values.

The Archaeology of Adaptation

Colonization of Unfamiliar Landscapes

Stephen Shennan

Human social life is constrained and defined by our cognitive and emotional dispositions, which are the legacy of our foraging ancestors. But how difficult is it to reconstruct the social systems and cultural traditions of those ancestors? The Archaeology of Human Ancestry provides a stimulating and provocative answer, in which archaeologists and biological anthropologists set out and demonstrate their reconstructive methods. Contributors use observations of primates and modern hunter-gatherers to illuminate the fossil and artefactual records. Thematic treatment covers the evolution of group size; group composition and the emotional structure of social bonds; sexual dimorphism and the sexual division of labour; and the origins of human cultural traditions. The Archaeology of Human Ancestry is an essential introduction to the subject for advanced undergraduates and researchers in archaeology and biological anthropology. It will also be used by workers in psychology, sociology and feminist studies as a resource for understanding human social origins.

The Archaeology of Human Ancestry

Previous studies of Hassan Fathy have sought to present his ideas by focusing on his architecture alone, without exploring the personality or intentions of the extremely complex individual behind the buildings. Having spent the majority of his life as an educator, for example, he self-identified as a teacher, rather than an architect, treating the tectonic language that he invented in his search for authenticity as a didactic medium by which to deliver his lessons. In order to delve more deeply into the existential reality of his multifaceted identity, this comprehensive publication about the famous Egyptian architect separates out and specifically examines each of the four major aspects of his persona in great detail: his life story, his writings, his architectural projects, and the people, places and things that inspired him.To do so, this project consists of a boxed set of two Volumes, each Volume further divided into two parts. Volume I, entitled "Biography and Writings" includes:Part I: A Transcendent Life, an extensive personal profile of Fathy, from his birth in Alexandria in 1900 to his death in Cairo in 1989, and:Part II: A Hassan Fathy Reader, which contains a voluminous edited selection of his articles, papers, letters, plays and fables, as well as an annotated bibliography of his entire personal library. Volume II, entitled "Architecture and Inspirations" is also in two parts:Part III: A Living Architecture, catalogues his entire architectural Oeuvre, for the first time and is fully illustrated with many original drawings and new photographs with an extensive commentary on each work. Part IV: Inspirations, includes each of the many architectural, historical, cultural and philosophical sources that stoked his vivid imagination, examining the influences that emerge in a myriad of ways in his architecture. Following a Dedication and extensive list of Acknowledgements, this historic set will begin with a general Introduction. Each part of these two volumes will then contain its own Introduction and Conclusion as well as complete Notes and Bibliography sections, relevant to the specific material covered in each. The two-volume set will also have a complete Index, covering all four sections.

This innovative and important volume presents the archaeological and anthropological foundations of the landscape learning process. Contributions apply the related fields of ethnography, cognitive psychology, and historical archaeology to the issues of individual exploration, development of trail systems, folk knowledge, social identity, and the role of the frontier in the growth of the modern world. A series of case studies examines the archaeological evidence for and interpretations of landscape learning from the movement of the first pre-modern humans into Europe, peoplings of the Old and New World at the end of the Ice Age, and colonization of the Pacific, to the English colonists at Jamestown. The final chapters summarize the implications of the landscape learning idea for our understanding of human history and set out a framework for future research.

The Colonization of Unfamiliar Landscapes

Contemporary Japanese Architecture presents a clear and comprehensive overview of the historical and cultural framework that informs the work of all Japanese architects, as an introduction to an in-depth investigation of the challenges now occupying the contemporary designers who will be the leaders of the next generation. It separates out the young generation of Japanese architects from the crowded, distinguished, multi-generational field they seek to join, and investigates the topics that absorb them, and the critical issues they face within the new economic reality of Japan and a shifting global order. Salient points in the text are illustrated by beautiful, descriptive images provided by the architects and from the extensive collection of the author. By combining illustrations with timelines and graphics to explain complex ideas, the book is accessible to any student seeking to understand contemporary Japanese architecture.
