Naturally Modern

In a world dominated by technology, nature's raw materials are back in fashion0and with them a taste for interiors that minimize clutter and accentuate sensual appeal. Design writer Ros Byam Shaw offers a wealth of useful and inspirational decorating ideas to help the reader bring the colors and textures of nature into the home. As illustrated in some 250 photographs of contemporary American, European, and Asian rooms, natural materials bring a warmth and intimacy to both country and city dwellings-and a look that will wear beyond the vagaries of fashion.

Wallace Neff

A 1989 Huntington Library exhibition catalogue, this is the one of the few publications in print on the eclectic California architect Wallace Neff. While best known for his Mediterranean-inspired houses, Neff's varied career also included pioneering and now largely forgotten work in Bubble Housing during and after World War Two.

New York

Here is New York was founded in response to the events of September 11, and to the flood of images that resulted from it. The idea was simple: to present images of the event by as many different people and from as many different perspectives as possible. In the days following September 11, the organisers asked for pictures and were inundated with slides, negatives, prints, and digital files from photographers of every description, not only top photojournalists and other professionals, but rescue workers, firemen, cops, school children, and amateurs of every kind. In order to underline that it was the images themselves that mattered, rather than their makers, the photographs were all digitally scanned, printed out in exactly the same format, and hung from wires without attribution nor frames in a Prince St store front.

Next Jerusalem

In this new collection, Israelim Palestinian, and American architects and urbanists consider the physical future of Jerusalem and offer specific propposals for making the city functional, beautiful, and physically generous to its inhabitants' needs. The essays focus on issues of ecology, preservation, neighborhood development, and open space, rather than on politics per se. While the authors take a variety of approaches, all agree on the necessity of sharing the city amicably. Contributors include Lebbeus Woods, M. Christine Boyer, Samira Haj, Achva Stein, Moshe Safdie, Thom Mayne, Mack Scogin, and Jafar Tukan.
