This stunning monograph -- the first on his work -- presents the oeuvre of San Francisco-based architect Stanley Saitowitz. Broad in scope, it begins with his earliest work in his native South Africa (see our book House in the Transvaal, page 12) and continues up to his recent projects, including the California Museum of Photography in Riverside, Mill Race Park in Columbus, Ohio, and the award-winning design for the New England Holocaust Memorial, built next to the Boston City Hall. Saitowitz's designs -- at once modern and organic -- have been the subject of numerous design exhibitions and have won several design awards. Stanley Saitowitz, beautifully illustrated throughout with duotones and drawings of built work, includes a poetic textual interpretation of the art of architecture by Saitowitz as well as an introduction by Michael Bell and a postscript by Lars Lerup.

This book is the first comprehensive investigation of the architecture of the apartheid state in the period of rapid economic growth and political repression from 1957 to 1966 when buildings took on an ideological role that was never remote from the increasingly dominant administrative, legislative and policing mechanisms of the regime. It considers how this process reflected the usurpation of a regional modernism and looks to contribute to wider discourses on international postwar modernism in architecture. Buildings in Pretoria that came to embody ambitions of the apartheid state for industrialisation and progress serve as case studies. These were widely acclaimed projects that embodied for apartheid officials the pursuit of modernisation but carried latent apprehensions of Afrikaners about their growing economic prospects and cultural estrangement in Africa. It is a less known and marginal story due to the dearth of material and documents buried in archives and untranslated documents. Many of the documents, drawings and photographs in the book are unpublished and include classified material and photographs from the National Nuclear Research Centre, negatives of 1960s from Pretoria News and documents and pamphlets from Afrikaner Broederbond archives. State architecture became the most iconic public manifestation of an evolving expression of white cultural identity as a new generation of architects in Pretoria took up the challenge of finding form to their prospects and beliefs. It was an opportunistic faith in Afrikaners who urgently needed to entrench their vulnerable and contested position on the African continent. The shift from provincial town to apartheid capital was swift and relentless. Little was left to stand in the way of the ambitions and aim of the state as people were uprooted and forcibly relocated, structures torn down and block upon block of administration towers and slabs erected across Pretoria. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of architectural history as well as those with an interest in postcolonial studies, political science and social anthropology.

This book extends the concept of British vernacular architecture beyond its traditional base of pre-modern domestic and industrial architecture to embrace other buildings such as places of worship, villas, hospitals, suburban semis and post-war mass housing. Engaging with wider issues of social and cultural history, this book is of use to anyone with an interest in architectural history. Presented in an essentially chronological sequence, from the medieval to the post-war, diverse fresh viewpoints in the chapters of this book reinforce understanding of how building design emerges not just from individual agency, that is architects, but also from the collective traditions of society.

One of the charms of this unusual travelogue is its mix of fine drawing and whimsical anecdote. The reader travels around South Africa seeing the world through the eyes of a distinguished architect who shares his delight in beautiful and unusual buildings - structures as different as a simple grass hut, an ornate Victorian facade, an elegant Cape Dutch gable and a grand Randlord mansion. Stories and legends, bits of architectural lore and pertinent facts of design accompany the drawings. There are few countries in the world that have as diverse an architectural heritage as South Africa does. The extraordinary wide range of styles and influences characterizing South African architecture has instilled a lifelong passion in Hannes Meiring and he has recorded this wealth in a career of nearly fifty years in both art and architecture. His artwork is represented in a number of public collections. In this book, he wants the reader not only to take pleasure in the beautiful structures but to also recognize the fragility of our architectural heritage and call for their preservation.It is an unconventional look at South African architecture and a book that can be enjoyed equally by those interested in historical buildings, the art enthusiast, and the student of architecture. It is both a personal sketchbook and, if the history of a country can be told through its buildings, an interesting portrayal of human settlement and migration in South Africa.

Illustrated by critical analyses of significant buildings, including examples by such eminent architects as Adler and Sullivan, Erich Mendelsohn, and Louis Kahn, this book examines collaboration in the architectural design process over a period ranging from the mid-19th century to the late 1960s. The examples chosen, located in England, the United States, Israel and South Africa, are of international scope. They have intrinsic interest as works of architecture, and illustrate all facets of collaboration, involving architects, engineers and clients. Prior to dealing with the case studies the theoretical framework is set in three introductory essays which discuss in general terms the organizational implications of partnerships, associations and teams; the nature of interactions between architect and engineer; and cooperation and confrontation in the relationship between architect and client. From this original standpoint, the interactive role of the designers, it examines and reinterprets such well-known buildings as the Chicago Auditorium and the Kimbell Art Museum. The re-evaluation of St Pancras Station and its hotel questions common presumptions about the separation of professional roles played by its engineer and architect. The account of the troubled history of Mendelsohn’s project for the first Haifa Power House highlights the difficulties that arise when a determined and eminent architect confronts a powerful and demanding client. In a later era, the examination of the John Moffat Building, which is less well known but deserving of wider recognition, reveals how the fruitful collaboration of multiple architects can result in a successful unified design. These case studies comprise a wide range of programmes, challenges, personalities and interactions. Ultimately, in five different ways, in five different epochs, and in five different circumstantial and cultural contexts, this book shows how the dialogue between the players in the design process resonates upo
