Book Description
"Volume Two: Recent House" is the second in a series of compilations featuring contemporary houses by PlanetArchitecture.com. Morphosis is represented by two houses. The first is the Blades residence, a composition which engages the land and transforms it to redefine both the house and the landscape. The forms, spaces and materials here also redefine our preconceptions of what a house is and looks like. The second is the Landa residence, a remodel of an existing house which dispels any misconceptions about what can be accomplished within such a small house. What is truly masterful here is how the volumetric interplay of boundaries divide and form expansive spaces within the confines of a small house. The Dan Residence is one of Frank Israel's final projects. It is a carefully crafted residence full of simple gestures that makes it both remarkable and comfortable. Mark Mack's Thomas residence in Las Vegas is a wonderful adaptation of the Southern Californian lifestyle he terms "Easy Living". Its beauty lies in being simple, but not simplistic. Rick Joy's Palmer Rose residence is a graceful juxtaposition of old and new, refined and raw. Rammed earth and concrete, steel and glass are combined to make the house resonate with a timeless beauty.

By "yoken" (Venice, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I just got the second edition of the Planet Architecture Series and I like it even more then the first one. They improved their interactivity and added some new features like the ipix 3D panoramas. There are interviews with the architects on the CD as well, which i really enjoyed. very interesting!! This is a great addition to my architecture library. I can recommend this to everyone, who has a passion for modern architecture. Two thumbs up!!

Great Resource for Architecture Enthusiasts,
This review is from: Planet Architecture, Vol. 2 (CD-ROM)
Great product! I bought this CD interested in mostly Morphosis' works, but found myself just as interested in the other houses featured on this CD. Great collection of projects with a whole lot of info on each. The panorama's were a great new way to display works of architecture.
