Between Spaces: Smith-Miller + Hawkinson Architecture, Judith Turner Photography [Paperback]

Judith Turner (Photographer), John Hejduk (Introduction)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2000

While the computer has made sweeping transparent planes and polished metal details comonplace, at least in renderings, few architects are actually building these images, and none with the craft and imagination of Smith-Miller + Hawkinson. This New York-based practice has recently vaulted into international prominence with the completion of their Glass Museum in Corning, New York. Built entirely of glass walls held in place by marine-quality fittings, this building has stunned the world with its sensuous qualities of transparency, reflection, and retraction.Between Spaces is a collaboration between the architects and the world-famous photographer Judith Turner, whose seminal book Judith Turner Photographs Five Architects established a new way of looking at architectural photography upon its publication two decades ago. Her dramatic duotone photographs illustrate the details, complexity, and qualities of light and space found inn Smith-Miller + Hawkinson's architecture.This new monograph features in-depth examinations of five recently constructed projects--Corning Glass Center, Loft for Robert Greenburg, InsideOut/Fabrications, North Carolina Musuem of Art Amphitheater & Outdoor Cinema, and Pier 11--and two unbuilt projects--Ferry Terminal Guidlines and Shilla-Daechi Bulding. This beautiful volume is lavishly illustrated with plans, models, and stunning tour-de-force photography.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The architects opened eyes at the company to what could be accomplished outside the usual palette of corporate materials. They challenged a lot of assumptions."..."With great respect for the masters of Modernism who has proceeded them, the New York architects reestablished the integrity of their corner of the building." -- Metropolis

This review is from: Between Spaces: Smith-Miller + Hawkinson Architecture, Judith Turner Photography (Paperback)

Judith Turner tried to use "always suggest but never reveal" approach to photography to document the houses/works of SMH. But because we never got at the end colored shots of the houses/works, it all feels disconnected & dull.

Terrible execution to not have full scale colored photos. Better to get Richard Pare's Tadao Ando book.
