This classic of prediction, written in 1969, has now been brought up to date, the prophecies judges, and the omens extended to 2030.The success rate of Jencks' forecasts and his method of combining expert prediction with structural analysis make this book an important contribution to the art of conjecture.

This provides a method of gauging what are likely to be the future movements in architecture, a useful and fascinating tool for speculation. No other book of forecasting is like it, a hypertext of retrospection, judgement and further prophecy. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. This monograph examines the work of David Mach, who rose to prominence in the early 1980s with his large-scale sculpture projects, notably "Polaris", the submarine made entirely from tyres, exhibited at the South Bank Centre in London, and his vast magazine sculptures such as "Fuel For the Fire" at the Riverside Studios in London. His sculpture is characterized by his use of multiple components such as magazines, newspapers, matches and bottles, suggesting today's obsession with consumerism and the resulting levels of manufactured surplus and waste. He has exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the world, and also presents work in a variety of more open locations such as swimming baths, shopping malls, parks and gardens. Along with the striking visual quality of his sculptures this openness and accessibility has ensured Mach's popular status as well as his critical acclaim.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) is universally recognized as one of the principle founders of 20th-century Abstract art. This important break with the past was the result of a long reflection on the Western, and particularly the Dutch, pictorial tradition, and of years of artistic asceticism marked by some singular paintings. After his experiments with Cubism, Mondrian founded Neo-Plasticism, formulating the principles that were to establish a highly personal style: a flat construction with right-angles, which enabled him to develop an oeuvre of surprising richness and diversity. This monograph looks at the career and output of this artist. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. With this invaluable handbook. Michael Lancaster seeks to clarify the place and meaning of colour in our surroundings. The complex subject matter is explored thoroughly - from the biological nature of colour and colour perception to the contemporary concerns of colour planning and colour control - to provide a solid base for the author's prime concern: the use of colour in the context of the environment. Taking examples from a wide range of townscapes and landscapes. Michael Lancaster identifies the confusion that has arisen from the recent colour revolution, and the increasing possibilities for visual pollution. Such negative examples contrast sharply with the detailed analyses of town planning in which harmony of colour and context is sought.
