 | Buildings of Venice by Richard Goy
The first truly comprehensive history of Venetian architecture, Venice: The City and its Architecture abandons the traditional chronological approach of earlier histories in favour of one that is able to encompass the diverse and manifold influences that have affected the city's development. The buildings are placed within Venice's unique urban context, taking account of its characteristic topography, changing light, reflective waters, peculiar government and prime geographical position at the crossroads of trade routes to the East. A wide range of buildings is covered, from fishermen's cottages to the palazzi on the Grand Canal and from the simplest of early Christian basilicas to Palladio's masterpieces and Longhena's Santa Maria della Salute. Colour photographs, original plans, contemporary drawings and paintings by the Venetian masters combine to reflect the visual wealth of this extraordinary city. AUTHOR: Richard Goy

 | The Complete Works by Peter Buchanan
This second volume on Renzo Piano provides an illuminating study of the architect's working method followed by a presentation of his projects from the period 1987 to 1993. In an interview recorded specially for this book, Piano talks about his early career as a designer, his attitudes towards technology and his continuing evolution of what Buchanan has called 'a natural architecture'. Many of the completed buildings featured in this volume are located in and around Piano's home town of Genoa, from the soaring structures associated with the 1992 Expo in the old docks to the ground-hugging form of his own laboratory-workshop in Vesima.
