|  | New Landscapes, New Territories by Eduard Bru
This work takes a fresh look at the relationship between architecture and landscape. In today's cities the artificial and the natural are no longer separate entities. Buildings now are not mere objects placed against a backdrop. The connecting thread of this book is those architectures possessed by the most vibrant vision of landscape. Conceived by Eduard Bru as the catalogue for an exhibition in Barcelona's Museum of Contemporary Art, and featuring works such as Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Museum-Bilbao, the result is an exhaustive global tour of architectural innovation.

It introduces readers to individual artists, various genres, specific uses of materials, and theories of composition. The closing pages address art's role as a commodity in consumer culture, and a glossary defines key movements, techniques, and styles. AUTHOR: Daniel Cavallaro

 | Design since Nineteen Forty-Five by Peter Dormer
The essential shape, form and structure of some objects in our daily lives may have been fixed one, ten, or even a hundred generations ago; but design and designers have now been moved center stage by the varied demands of a society that in less than half a century has gone from a restless search for the new to Postmodernist recycling of ideas--and now green recycling of materials.
