Abstract

The cool, assured International Style of Mexican architect Legoretta is warmed by his country's aesthetic vernacular--from the imposing scale of pre-Columbian structures to the elegance of colonial mansions to the insouciance of villages. Rugged texture, unusual angling, unexpected glints of color give his structures their evocative, emotional appeal. His range, from corporate headquarters to factories, hotels and residences, is portrayed in close to 200 well-chosen color photographs and an assortment of line drawings and black-and white photos. Separate chapters use Legoretta's own words to discuss the importance he gives to light, color, walls, courtyards, scale, water, humor and social conscience. He enlarges, for example, on the emphasis he gives to walls: as screens, ornaments, gateways, backgrounds for murals; to delineate spaces and separate functions, to insure privacy and provoke a sense of mystery. As outlined in this impressive book, Legoretta's fresh and painterly architecture is animated by his dictum: "discover what purpose is to be served and serve it with heart." Attoe teaches architecture at Louisiana State University; Brisker is a Los Angeles architect.

Abstract

Sauerbruch Hutton is an award-winning, international agency for architecture, urbanism and design. Its architecture is always in the context of the city and combines functionality with an ecological performance that goes far beyond purely technical aspects. Projects such as the police station in Berlin, the Federal Environment Agency in Dessau or the Sammlung Brandhorst Museum in Munich demonstrate a convincing use of materiality and colour. Founded in 1989 by Matthias Sauerbruch and Louisa Hutton, the agency today works on a wide variety of projects worldwide - including housing, museum, educational institution and office high-rise buildings -, impressing with precisely detailed, ecologically conscious, and urbanistically sophisticated designs. This monograph on the Sauerbruch Hutton agency looks behind the scenes, describes processes and comprises one thing in particular: many building details.

Abstract

As far back as the earliest Greek temples, color has been an integral part of architecture but also one of its least understood elements. Color theory is rarely taught in architecture schools, leaving architects to puzzle out the hows and whys of which colors to select and how they interact, complement, or clash. 'Color for Architects' is profusely illustrated and provides a clear, concise primer on color for designers of every kind. This latest volume in our 'Architecture Briefs' series combines the theoretical and practical, providing the basics on which to build a fuller mastery of this essential component of design. A wealth of built examples, exercises, and activities allows students to apply their learning of color to real-world situations.
