Softcover. London, Academy Editions Ltd, 1st, 1995, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 128 pages. Illustrated in color and b&w. Baillie Scott's long career spanned the years from 1892 to 1939 - several ages in architecture. He may be considered a third-generation Arts and Crafts architect, who joined the movement after it had become well established and took its ideas to everyman. He invented a new type of small house by opening up a plan around a spacious house-place or hall and extending the interior into the garden. These airy little houses, with their intimate alcoves and sunny verandas, captured William Morris's vision: 'Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement: a sanded floor and whitewashed walls, and the green trees, and flowery meads... will turn all "operatives" into workmen, into artists, into men.' This book includes many newly commissioned photographs of Baillie Scott's houses, as well as original drawing and new research. By looking at his writing and revisiting his buildings - some previously unknown - it makes available the work of an important architect of the Arts and Crafts movement. It reveals for the first time the beauty of Baillie Scott's architectural works and the fascinating breadth of his theory and practice. Clean copy.

Softcover. NY, Princeton Architectural Press, 1st, 2006, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 224 pages, color photos. Charles Rose embraces the vast and varied panorama of the American landscape. The profile of his award-winning Paintrock Camp in Hyattville, Wyoming, follows the contours of a nearby canyon; Roses's adaptive reuse of an industrial structure in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood preserves the existing streetscape while creating a seamless flow between inside and out; and the shape of his United States Port of Entry project in Del Rio, Texas, was determined by the scorching Texan sun and features sustainable landscapes. With surprising use of volumes, materials, and geometries, agile movement of spaces, and an active language of planes and lines, Rose creates dynamic, expressive architecture that reminds us that buildings can be both sensitive to their locale and embrace the timeless principles of geometry, material, light, and shadow. Clean copy.
