This new monograph presents the work of San Francisco-based architectStanley Saitowitz. Comprehensive in scope, it begins with his earliestwork in South Africa (see A House inthe Transvaal) and continues up to his recent projects, includingthe California Museum of Photography in Riverside, Mill Race Park inColumbus, Indiana (see Design With theLand), and the award-winning design for the New England HolocaustMemorial, to be built next to the Boston City Hall. Saitowitz's dynamic designs -- at once modern andorganic -- have been the subject of numerous exhibitions, this is the first time Saitowitz's work has been gathered together in asingle volume. As Lars Lerup wittily suggests in his postscript about thedouble initials of the architect, Saitowitz's work embodies "the legacy ofnature -- the swirl, the slither, the curl, the twist, thesurge, the eddy, the gyration. Out of the grass into Saitowitz's plansthey come to stake their claim in the domain of artifice." Saitowitz was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and has been in practicein San Francisco since 1975. He has held teaching posts at numerousschools, including the Eliot Noyes Professorship at the Harvard GSD. He iscurrently a Professor of Architecture at the University of California atBerkeley. Stanley Saitowitz, beautifully illustrated throughout with duotonesand drawings of built work, includes a poetic textual interpretation ofthe art of architecture by Saitowitz as well as an introduction by MichaelBell and a postscript by Lars Lerup.
