On Architecture: Collected Reflections on a Century of Change
For more than half a century, Ada Louise Huxtable's keen eye and vivid writing have reinforced to readers how important architecture is and why it continues to be both controversial and fascinating—making her one of the best-known critics in the world.
On Architecture collects the best of Huxtable's writing from the New York Times, New York Review of Books, Wall Street Journal, and her various books. In these selections, Huxtable examines the twentieth century's most important architectural masters and projects, cataloging the seismic shifts in style, function, and fashion that have led to the dramatic new architecture of the twenty-first century.

Architectural Photography.
Architectural photography is more than simply choosing a subject and hitting the shutter release; it's more than just documenting a project. With the advent of the digital photographic workflow, architects are increasingly discovering exciting new opportunities to present and market their work. Adrian Schulz, both an architect and a photographer by training, teaches and illustrates with real world projects how to:
Capture outstanding images of buildings, inside and out. Choose the right equipment and how to use it effectively. Compose architectural shots, and work with ambient and artificial light. Process photographs in an efficient workflow based on Adobe Photoshop. This book is a step-by-step guide to architectural photography, both for the aspiring amateur photographer interested in architectural photography, and for the professional photographer wanting to expand his skills in this domain.
