This review is from: Caruso St. John: Almost Everything (Hardcover)
This is one of the best book designs I have come across. Not a book like any other monograph since the focus is not on covering the projects. Prof. Ursprung rather modestly introduces it as something between an atlas and a travel guide but to my mind only in a sense that it is read as a journey like the courses in an architecture school. The photos are crisp and beautiful (many by Helene Binet), the essays cover topics beyond their projects, and there are also bits of texts by Loos, Semper, the Smithsons, Sir John Soane, Walter Benjamin, about Benjamin, about Mies, plates of Owen Jones... all adding up layers like an archeological report. It is a pleasure to own and to reflect upon, at the same time, reminds of why architecture can be a difficult profession to let go once initiated, a mad passion like the true love. a right shot.
