Form Function in Architecture, by architect R. Thomas Hille, is a CD-ROM series dedicated to the study and understanding of architectural form and, especially, the relationship between formal organization and content. The first two volumes in the Form Function series offer an interactive architectural tour of six masterpieces of modern architecture by influential twentieth-century architects. Form Function allows the user to interact with richly detailed color photographs of significant views and features of each building; diagrammatic overlays that point out key elements in the photograph; and text that conveys descriptive and analytical information. Each building presentation also includes a series of "planimations"--graphical summaries of the plan generation of the buildings--and background information on the building and its architect. The CD-ROMs in the series will be of interest to architects, students of design, and a general audience interested in contemporary architecture and design.System RequirementsWindows: 386 processor with 4 MB RAMWindows 3.1256-color display at 640 x 480Double-speed CD-ROM driveMacintosh:68020 processor with 4 MB RAMSystem 7.0256-color display at 640 x 480Double-speed CD-ROM drive

The New Public Library: Design Innovation for the Twenty-First Century

The New Public Library is an in-depth design study of an exemplary collection of recent public libraries, and the historical precedents that have informed and inspired their development. An introductory overview presents seven critical themes that characterize public library design, past and present, highlighting the expressive architectural potential of this unique and important building type. A survey of over 40 historically significant libraries traces the development of the building type over time, with a primary focus on precedents from the US and northern Europe, where the modern public library originated, and its design has been most comprehensively developed. A selection of nearly 50 contemporary projects from the past 30 years focuses on the most current developments in public library design, with a diverse and varied collection of work by over 35 regional, national, and international design firms. Highly visual in its presentation, the study includes 885 color photographs and illustrations, and 195 scale drawings.
