Stone's richness of texture, colour and finish cannot be found in other materials; it is sensuous to the touch, striking tot he eye and pleasing to the soul. Stone is not a vanishing resource - in fact the opposite is true. However, making architecture with this material often requires putting aside accepted strictures and finding a means to work with, and understand, its physical qualities. The book features Holzman's highly acclaimed, award-winning projects, such as the Louis Stokes Wing of the Cleveland Public Library, the West Wing of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and the WCCO-TV Comunications Center in Minneapolis.

There's nothing quite as functional - or as beautiful - as nature's own building blocks. Often shaped and weathered by natural forces, each stone has its own unique look and feel.

Used as elements in a carefully planned landscape design, stonework can add an artful organization to your outdoor spaces. Creating sturdy walls, private patios, graceful gardens, and offering unlimited opportunities for your imagination to soar - with features like ponds, streams and waterfalls that can transform your property into a sylvan sanctuary.

Extroverted spectacular architecture and futuristic spaces charged with iconographic scenes

Strike a Pose documents a new extroverted architectural language. Manifested in spectacular structures, eccentric forms and vivid colours, this expressive approach goes way beyond conventional stylistic and geographic boundaries.

Strike a Pose leads the reader around the globe to iconographically charged scenes and futuristic spaces, with examples of architectural playfulness and experimental wanderlust ranging from private residences to schools and operas, museums and interior design.

Conceived and edited by Lukas Feireiss, the editor of Spacecraft, this publication inspires beyond the traditional borders of genre, further indicating architecture’s pop appeal and its contagious and entertaining effect.

This new NeoArchitecture monograph presents the work of Studio Downie, a young practice whose work to date has mostly appeared in the UK, but is poised to make its mark on the world scene. Craig Downie studied architecture within the layered environment of fine art, sculpture, graphics and textiles at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee. He formed Studio Downie in 1993 and its first building, a widely published gallery for the Cass Sculpture Foundation, West Sussex, was completed in 1994. The intervening years have involved many projects, including interiors for the Ondaatje Theatre, the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA), KPMG Microsoft, government- funded outreach centres for the West London Training & Enterprise Council and offices for the French Treasury. Recent commissions include the Library for the Royal College of Surgeons of England and a new mixed- use gateway building as part of the King's Cross Development.
