Architecture Books – Week 14/2022
The latest review on A Weekly Dose of Architecture Books:
Who's Next? Homelessness, Architecture, and Cities edited by Daniel Talesnik and Andres Lepik, published by ArchiTangle.
Architecture Book News:
Kevin Lippert, founder of the great Princeton Architectural Press, died on Tuesday, March 29, at the age of 63. Architect’s Newspaper and Architectural Record have tributes, and Mark Lamster, a senior editor at PAPress around twenty years ago, posted a thread on Twitter about Kevin.
Architect Toshihiko Suzuki of Atelier OPA and OPA Press has made a book on the capsule architecture of Kisho Kurokawa. Tuesday, April 5, is the book’s release date, coincidentally one week before the demolition of Kurokawa’s famed Nakagin Capsule Tower commences. (Of related interest is 1972 - Nakagin Capsule Tower by Noritaka Minami, which I reviewed a year ago.)

The books put out by Princeton Architectural Press are special for me because they were the first architecture books I bought for myself — for my enjoyment — rather than for classes in architecture school. Here are a few from back then, the early/mid 90s (RIP, Kevin Lippert):
