Resumen: The work of Seattle-based architect Tom Kundig has been called both raw and refined, as well as super-crafted and warm. Kundig's projects, especially his houses, uniquely combine these two seemingly disparate sets of characteristics to produce some of the most inventive structures found in the architecture world today. Kundig's internationally acclaimed= work is inspired by both the industrial structures with which he grew up in the Pacific Northwest and the vibrant craft cultures that are fostered there. His buildings uniquely meld industrial sensibilities and materials such as Cor-ten steel and concrete with an intuitive understanding of scale. As Kundig states, "The idea is insaperable from the fabrication, inseparable from the materials used."Tom Kundig: Houses presents five projects in depth, from their early conceptual sketches to their final lovingly wrought, intimate details. Kundig's houses reflect a sustained and active collaborative process between designer, craftsmen, and owners, resulting in houses that bring to life the architect's intentions, the materials used, and lines of unforgettable beauty.

CHOICE Review

Seattle-based photographer Jordan has succeeded in making absolutely gorgeous photographs of the devastation Hurricane Katrina wrought on the Gulf Coast. His 50 color images, without including a single person, serve as stark reminders of both the pure brutality of the event and a rampant cultural materialism: Mardi Gras beads covering the ground outside a party store and mud-stained pants on a rack in a women's clothing store are but two examples. Perhaps the most eloquent pictures are those that speak to the incongruous. An office chair atop a fence in a ball field, purses in a tree, a Christmas ornament embedded in a chain-link fence, and a living room floor covered in a carpet of dried, cracked mud all fall outside normal frames of reference and catch one off guard. Jordan hopes his photographs contribute to reader "contemplation into the dark consequences of the Katrina disaster." Writers McKibben and Zakin contribute essays that work alongside the images to further examine social and political causes of global warming, consumerism, and an unequal class system that they contend Katrina exposed. McKibben compares Jordan's photographs to those of crime scenes; clearly, the intent is to expose and try those deemed responsible for this "unnatural disaster." ^BSumming Up: Recommended.
