STEPHANIE BRUNO If you love New Orleans and its beautiful buildings, then this is a book you must have. Jim Blanchard is a prominent architectural archival artist and research enthusiast who has put together a beautiful book of New Orleans architecture. This book includes images of some of the most important buildings still standing and more importantly, some buildings that have been lost to fire, hurricane, flooding or time. But the best part of this book by far is the exquisite drawings by Blanchard. He features 200 of the exquisite watercolor and some pen and ink drawings, all in scale. Enjoy the 300 years of New Orleans architecture this book shows you.

THE ARCHITECTURE OF CLOSED WORLDS BY LYDIA KALLIPOLITI What do you need for a closed-system environment? What would you need to live day to day? How would you survive in space or underwater? The Architecture of Closed Worlds documents the rise of new environmental consciousness. The book showcases a timeline of thirty-nine archive prototypes from 1928 to now. These structures include the FNRS Balloon (1931), Aqualung (1943), House of the Future (1982) and EDEN Project (2000). Each structure is presented in archival images with new analysis and illustrations. The author Lydia Kallipoliti, an architect, engineer and scholar, walks the reader through each project.
