This unprecedented series of discussions between architecture students and principals of leading American and Swiss architecture firms investigates the role research plays in the building process. Anyone from a practicing architect to a general reader interested in modern architecture and education will take away a new depth of understanding of the process of design. These conversations evolved from a seminar sponsored by California College of Arts and the UC Berkeley College of Environmental Design. They expose the similarities and differences in education, design and construction, all to reveal the multiple ways architecture is made. Includes interviews with Marc Angelil and Anne Fougeron, Andrea Deplazes and Stanley Saitowitz, Patrick Devanthery, Ines Lamuniere and Nader Tehrani, Valerio Olgiati and Jim Jennings, and Dirk Hebel, Jorg Stollmann and Lisa Iwamoto.

The California Delta is the hub of the complicated water infrastructure that serves much of the state. The landscape is rife with tension--both historically and geologically--in the interplay between water and land, now heavily altered by human intervention. The delta is currently encountering a new crisis: climate change, which promises to disrupt the levee system currently in place and the delicate balance of fresh water and salt water. In the face of this highly unstable situation, Katherine Rinne asked the students in her 2007 Architecture for a Hybrid Landscape studio course at the California College of the Arts to design a hypothetical new California Water Research and Interpretive Center facility on a delta site. Architecture for a Hybrid Landscape showcases the students' innovative designs, along with essays, artworks and photography.

As the United States slowly emerges from its most significant economic downturn since the Great Depression, the CCA Wattis Institute reexamines the well-known photography program of the Farm Security Administration (1935-44). In More American Photographs, 12 contemporary photographers were commissioned to travel the United States, documenting its land and people. These new works are presented alongside historical images by original FSA photographers such as Dorothea Lange in a catalogue whose design was inspired by Walker Evans’ seminal book American Photographs. Participating photographers include Walead Beshty, Esther Bubley, Larry Clark, Roe Ethridge, Walker Evans, Katy Grannan, William E. Jones, Dorothea Lange, Russell Lee, Sharon Lockhart, Catherine Opie, Gordon Parks, Martha Rosler, Collier Schorr, Ben Shahn, Stephen Shore, Alec Soth, Hank Willis Thomas and Marion Post Wolcott.
