This study examines the architectural practice of Edward Cullinan Architects, known for its high principled, user-oriented design philosophy. Since 1974, the firm has completed a significant number of buildings for selective clients, such as Olivetti and the National Trust. Since 1989, they have also been invited to carry out major projects throughout Europe, Japan and the USA, including Technical High School, Lagny, France; D'Hautree Secondary School, Jersey; Ambassador's Residence, Moscow; and The University of North Carolina Campus, USA. Powell presents a critical analysis of over 30 projects covering a wide range of domestic, commercial and academic buildings. Texts written by Edward Cullinan are also included.

Will Alsop is one of the most exciting British architects working today. The designer of such striking, often colorful, buildings as Le Grand Bleu in Marseille, the Passenger and Ferry Terminal in Hamburg and, more recently, North Greenwich Station on the new Jubilee Line Extension in London, he was one of four architects chosen to represent Britain at the prestigious Venice Biennale 2000. The first of two volumes on Alsop’s work, this book examines not only his architecture, but also his distinctive creative process. It reveals how Alsop’s early training as a painter—unusual for an architect— had a profound impact on his approach to architecture. This engagement with art has also made him critical of the common perception of architecture as a “literary” medium. To Alsop, architecture should, first and foremost, be visually stimulating. In addition, he sees architecture as a collective effort involving the architect, the client, and the community, and not merely a form of personal artistic expression. Created in close co-operation with Alsop himself, this volume is profusely illustrated with sketches, paintings, plans and photographs that cover his early training at the Architectural Association and with Cedric Price, up to his completed projects of the 1980s. Ken Powell’s masterful text analyses Alsop’s work and ideas, and provides a fascinating biography of one of our most important contemporary architects.

The Lenbachhaus Book published in conjunction with its reinauguration in 2013 presents all departments of the Stadtische Galerie im Lenbacchaus collections in a single representative volume. Founded as a modest museum for works bearing a direct relation to Munich, the institution residing in the former villa of the "prince of painters" Franz von Lenbach (1836-1904) is now world-renowned for its stunningly rich collection of paintings by the members of the Blue Rider as well as the no less eminent and unique selection of contemporary art in its holdings. The book presents chief works of these two foci together with the museum's important collections of works of 19th-century art, Munich art nouveau, New Objectivity, and Joseph Beuys. Over 150 color plates lay out a panorama of the museum's masterworks; brief remarks introduce the reader to the individual departments.
