Center and Periphery
Five Houses by Mikael Bergquist
With a Foreword by Charlotte von Moos
Bergquist draws a picture of Swedish architecture that is marked by what he calls “fruitful misunderstandings” of current movements, and in which poverty of the rural population has been a major factor in the evolution of the design and construction of dwellings.

The Middle Front
The Architecture of La Dallman
The Middle Front is the first-ever monograph on La Dallman Architects, a Milwaukee-based firm. Lavishly illustrated, it articulates a profound architectural stance amid the extremes of radical innovation and banal convention. Grace La and James Dallman explore this middle ground through designs that navigate between avant-garde aesthetics and pragmatic solutions.
