Book Description
Although Antoine Predock's practice is international, his roots are in the American southwest. His architecture draws from the elemental forces in any location, but in the desert it draws from the monolithic topography, expansive cerulean sky, and sparse geometric flora. Known for the way he incorporates references to the elemental forces--air, earth, fire, water--Predock's bold, fluid structures evoke the mythic nature that is rooted in regional culture and forms. This is the first book to put together all of the extraordinary houses designed by Antoine Predock. Each of the twelve remarkable private houses featured here--ten from Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico, and two from California--harmoniously blend with their landscape in ways for which Predock is now so renowned. Characterized by environmentally conscious design, the houses display both exquisite refinement and an ingenious level of invention.

Book Description
"Concrete's structural strength and visual variety combined with the particulars of place and culture have allowed Tadao Ando (Osaka), Ricardo Legorreta (Mexico City), Antoine Predock (Albuquerque, USA) and Wiel Arets (The Netherlands) to realize progressive and seminal forms. The buildings of these four lauded architects sensitively respond to their environments, while nevertheless functioning as monumental symbols that transcend their immediate surroundings." "Although they have established large international practices, the approaches of the four architects have enabled them to forge an architectonic language that is both solid and meaningful. From Predock's sensitive interpretations of America's southwest desert to Ando's graceful intervention in natural and urban contexts, from Legorreta's bold representations of Mexico's rich pre-Columbian heritage to Arets's cool 'second-modernist' forms, each architect's highly individual vision has created unique buildings for people and their environments." "In one sense the result of local conditions, the buildings in Concrete Regionalism also seem to exist out of time and place, constant reminders that there persists in architecture a search for enduring form."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Founded during the space-age boom of the 1950s, the University of California, San Diego campus showcases some ofCalifornia's finest postwar architecture. Perched dramatically above the Pacific Ocean, the campus architecture ranges from spare sixties concrete structures to light, open California modernists designs and, from the new millennium, buildings that reflect the latest ideas about connecting buildings with the student community. University of California, San Diego is both a history of campus planning and growth and a series of map-guided walking tours of its architectural landmarks, including visits to buildings by world-renowned architects, such as Antoine Predock, Michael Rotondi, and Moshe Safdie.
