Figure/Ground: A Design Conversation , is a collection of six dialogs on design between Scott Johnson and William Fain, the principals of Johnson Fain Partners of Los Angeles. Covering a broad range of topics, the conversations center on such themes as the globalization of architecture, the impact of the Internet, the issue of "big architecture" vs. urban design, and the role of historicism in design. Along the way, Johnson and Fain find inspiration in jazz improvisation, Noam Chomsky, Roman urbanism, passive solar heating in China, Catholic monasticism, and Native American spirituality.
With elegant layout of National Design Award winner Lorraine Wild, the dialogs are illustrated with photographs of recent work by the firm, including their plan for central Beijing and the new Native American Center in Oklahoma City.
Reconstructed modernists / Joseph Giovannini -- The literal, the abstract, and a case for deep structure -- Sustainability : nature and tradition -- DNA of the city : improvisation and the urban grid -- Control and consensus : is it architecture, urban design, or just art? -- Centering, fragments, and the definition of place -- Building for the public life
