Book Description
"Eric Owen Moss - Recent Works" is the third in a series of monographs featuring the works of contemporary architects by PlanetArchitecture.com. The buildings and projects included in this e-archive comprise Eric Owen Moss' work in Culver City and Central Los Angeles. Since 1986, Moss has collaborated with Frederick and Laurie Samitaur Smith and their company Samitaur Constructs to revitalize an industrial tract development that the Smiths call "Conjunctive Points." Once the site of abandoned sheds and warehouses, the area is now home to digital, new-media, entertainment, and dot-com companies as well as a dance studio, outdoor musical performances, and the greatest concentration of works by Moss. Now that these efforts have reached critical mass, this Planet Architecture edition examines both Moss' architecture and the Smiths urban objectives for Culver City and Los Angeles.

This review is from: Eric Owen Moss: Recent Works (Planet Architecture) (CD-ROM)
This is an excellent volume on Eric Own Moss, one of the preeminent contemporary architects in the U.S. The inherently multiformat medium of CD-ROM are generally vastly underutilised but not so with this disk. The combination of persentational methods are here well integrated for an extremely comprehensive overview of several of Moss' projects. The 3D panoramas are quite effective and the plans overlayed with photographs give a wonderful feel for the views afforded within the complex forms created by Moss. This is what I would like to see more architecture books and media doing but unfortunately somehow publishers lack the vision to do so. I've been quite impressed with the Planet Architecture Series and look forward to more titles in the future. One last note - It seems that the interview with Eric Owen Moss was conducted with a special attention to clarity and non-technical terminology. The video is easily navigated and delves deeply into a complex architectural practice without becoming tiresome or overly-pretentious. I highly recommend this work to anyone interested in cutting edge architecture.
