Conversations with Mies van der Rohe


Moisés Puente - 2008
    Focusing on this American period, Conversations with Mies van der Rohe, the latest addition to our Conversations series, gives fresh credence to this claim by presenting the architect's most important design concerns in his own words. In this collectionof interviews Mies talks freely about his relationship with clients, the common language he aimed for in his architecturalprojects, the influences on his work, and the synthesis of architecture and technology that he advanced in his designs and built works.Conversations with Mies van der Rohe makes an important contribution to the corpus of Mies scholarship. It presents a vivid picture of a master of modernism, bringing his artistic biography to a close while completing the scope of his style in terms of techniques, scale, use of materials, and typology. An essay by Iaki balos provides a context for these interviews and looks at Mies's legacy from a contemporary perspective.

The Four Books of Architecture


Andrea Palladio
    The wide spread of Palladianism was due partly to the private and public buildings he constructed in Italy, the designs of which were copied throughout Europe. But of even greater consequence was his remarkable magnum opus, "I Quattro Libri dell'Architettura"; translated into every major Western European language in the two centuries following its publication in 1570, it has been one of the most influential books in the history of architecture. The Four Books of Architecture offers a compendium of Palladio's art and of the ancient Roman structures that inspired him. The First Book is devoted to building materials and techniques and the five orders of architecture: Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, and Composite. Palladio indicates the characteristic features of each order and supplies illustrations of various architectural details. The Second Book deals with private houses and mansions, almost all of Palladio's own design. Shown and described are many of his villas in and near Venice and Vicenza (including the famous Villa Capra, or "The Rotunda," the Thiene Palace, and the Valmarana Palace). Each plate gives a front view drawing of the building and the general floor plan. The Third Book is concerned with streets, bridges, piazzas, and basilicas, most of which are of ancient Roman origin. In the Fourth Book, Palladio reproduces the designs of a number of ancient Roman temples. Plates 51 to 60 are plans and architectural sketches of the Pantheon.In all, the text is illustrated by over 200 magnificently engraved plates, showing edifices, either of Palladio's own design or reconstructed (in these drawings) by him from classical ruins and contemporary accounts. All the original plates are reproduced in this new single-volume edition in full size and in clear, sharp detail. This is a republication of the Isaac Ware English edition of 1738. Faithful and accurate in the translation and in its reproduction of the exquisite original engravings, it has long been a rare, sought-after work. This edition makes The Four Books available for the first time in more than 200 years to the English-speaking public.

Irredeemable (Pinnacle Heirs #2)


LeTeisha Newton - 2021
    No content has changed.One year … All he asks for is one year of my life to clear out all the dirt, the muck, the messed-up way of thinking that makes me splice myself open for relief. One year of no Rani, no Pinnacle heirs, no reminders of the past, and all I have to do is say yes. Just yes. It’s stupid. I know better. To say yes means there is never a chance to say no. I won’t control anything in my life, least of all how I live. This one word utterly takes over, and I no longer know where to turn for help. My release, my painful savior the blade, is now gone. All that remains is Demari Sestra. He always gives me a chance, a moment before the darkness to walk away. I can, I know it, but I never do. It leaves no one to blame but me. Rani, I once warned you the world would break you if you let it. Maybe I should have followed my own advice.Note from the authors: Irredeemable was previously published as Cutter and no content has changed. While Irredeemable can be read as a standalone, the pieces may fall in place easier if Irrepairable is read first. Unlike Irrepairable, this is not a reverse harem, academy, or bully romance. Simply put, Allie's story is dark, twisted, and might make even the darkest hearts cringe. Remember this: most topics in the book are real-life occurrences and will evoke strong feelings. Proceed with caution and know you have been warned.

Sofia Westlake - 2019

It doesn’t help that the local sheriff seems unwilling to be helpful. In fact, the only person in Wicker that seems interested in finding the murderer is the guy who owns and runs the local bar. At least Thane Bostick doesn’t tell her to leave five seconds after she introduces herself. Thane is smart and sexy in ways that defy explanation. But Belle isn’t in Wicker to find a man. She’s here to choose. Homicide, Suicide, or Death by Misadventure. Cat’s Cradle Natalie Arrington is just a painter. That’s it. She’s looking for pretty scenery to put on cards and canvases so she can sell them to tourists and make money. When someone leaves a murder victim right in the middle of her scenery, Natalie isn’t amused. Unfortunately for her, neither is anyone in Wicker, Kentucky. It wasn’t like Natalie had intended to be in Wicker. But it seems that once you’re there, you don’t ever leave. Fortunately for Natalie, the local blacksmith doesn’t seem inclined to let the sheriff bully her around. Whoever heard of a blacksmith in this day and age anyway? Cats and Dogs Spencer Evans is having a run of bad luck. Her twin brother has shacked up with his new baby mama in Spencer’s house. There’s no room for her to stick around and she’s too busy trying to pretend that she doesn’t care to admit that she does. Enter Hardison Burlington. The handsome stranger shows up in Wicker and seems to have no respect for boundaries. He shows up in Spencer’s kitchen in the middle of the night without a word of apology. Even worse. He’s charming! When Spencer takes it upon herself to keep an eye on this newcomer to see what he’s about, she finds herself sucked into Wicker’s ongoing battle between the haves and the have nots. But Hardison is too fascinating to leave alone. The man isn’t an average human, but he’s not a cougar shifter either. He’s something else and Spencer cannot imagine how that will ever fit into her life in Wicker. Cats and Kittens Franny Ikenburger is sick and tired of being called the silliest girl in Wicker. If the vicious old gossips in town had anything useful to do, maybe they would stop inventing lies to get Franny into trouble. Then a new rumor starts. But this one doesn’t involve Franny. John Moore is a quiet man who isn’t at all prepared for a whirlwind ride on the rumor mill. As Franny and John are drawn together and sucked into the seedy underbelly of Wicker’s illicit drug trade, they learn to depend on each other for a much needed reality check. Franny might be younger, but she’s not silly. And John is the only one in the world who seems to believe her. Sometimes the love and support of one man can be enough to turn things completely upside down. Cat Scratch Fever Orrin Wilshire is pretty sure he knows exactly who is behind this recent bout of killings in Wicker. He just can’t prove it. Yet. When a state investigator shows up to lend a hand, Orrin doesn’t want anything to do with her. Matilda Harbuck is an outsider. If she sticks around long enough the killer is likely to make her his next victim. But Mattie is no shrinking violet. The woman is peeling back the layers of Wicker like the rotting peel on a piece of fruit.
