Collage and Architecture is the first book to cover collage as a tool for design　in architecture, making it a valuable resource for students and practitioners. Author Jennifer Shields uses the artworks and built projects of leading artists and architects, such as Le Corbusier, Daniel Libeskind, and Teddy Cruz to illustrate the diversity of collage techniques. The six case study projects from Mexico, Argentina, Sweden, Norway, the United States, and Spain give you a global perspective of architecture as collage. Collage is an important instrument for analysis and design, and Shields's presentation of this　versatile　medium draws on decades of relevance in art and architecture, to be　adapted　and transformed in your own work.

CHOICE Review

Architect Shields (UNC Charlotte) explores the idea of collage as an artistic strategy and an inspiration for architectural exploration. This volume is a thoughtful, well-researched, carefully constructed, and thoroughly illustrated effort to find meaningful relationships between the ideas of collage as employed in quite different forms of artistic endeavor. The first part describes various ways that collage has been employed by 20th-century artists, including early attempts to discover the inherent expressive potential of the approach, efforts to combine collage with other media, the use of photographs in the construction of collage, and the impact of digital technology on collage's potential. Here, each of the sections is illustrated using the work of four artists. The second part of the book looks at six quite different and unique works of architecture in order to describe the various ways that collage techniques can be employed in architectural design. As a whole, the book provides convincing evidence for the impact of collage on the development of contemporary art, but a less compelling illustration of the ways these ideas have affected the course of contemporary architecture. Still, the book serves as a reliable, thought-provoking introduction to an important and difficult topic. --David Sachs, Kansas State University
