› Find signed collectible books: 'The Art of Architecture in the Age of Ecology'Book summary:When is a house ecological? Does the use of natural materials and solar cells on the roof make a building an example of "green" architecture? Perhaps even Antoni Gaud and Frank Lloyd Wright designed "greener" buildings than most contemporary architects, whose low-energy houses scarcely differ outwardly from traditional ones. James Wines puts up the various - and often irreconcilable - concepts of environmentally-friendly architecture for discussion, making a case for an architecture that not only focuses on technological solutions, but also tries to reconcile man and nature in its formal idiom. Among the examples of contemporary ecological architecture presented are works by Emilio Ambasz, Gustav Peichl, Arthur Quarmby, Jean Nouvel, Sim Van der Ryn, Jourda and Perraudin, Log ID, James Cutler, Stanley Saitowitz, Francois Roche, and Nigel Coates.

James Cutlerby Patricia Phillips, James Wines , SITE, Inc.ISBN 1564963411 (1-56496-341-1)
Softcover, Quayside Pub Group

› Find signed collectible books: 'James Cutler'Book summary:James Cutler is one of those rare contemporary architects who has converted environmental technology, an ecologically responsible choice of materials, and a strong earth consciousness into art. In his work the site area, regional topography, local vegetation, and the "psychology of situtation" are intrinsic parts of his aesthetic decisions. With regard to this psychological element, it refers to his ability to connect to an ambient sensibility that gives any artform its relevance. This unifying sensibility has been defined by our acknowledgment that, if we are to survive as a species, the damage wrought by global industrialization must be reversed.
While Cutler's work incorporates a form of construction technology that clearly identifies him as an architect of the 1990s, he does not celebrate industrial imagery the way, for example, the buildings of Rem Koolhaas, Jean Nouvel, or Richard Rogers harken back to Machine Age sources. Cutlers's buildings, like Frank Lloyd Wright's, grow out of complex architectural investigations. They are based on an understanding of the unique qualities of each situation, rather than an adherence to some prescriptive set of forms endorsed by a fashionable "in" movement or the comfortable reassurances of an easily accessible design vocabulary.
