A very good intro of the Hudson artists
This is a large format book filled with paintings of several different famous landscape artists.Some paintings stretch to fill two pages and others are worked in at all different sizes.There is accompanying text to help you understand each artist and their role in this "Hudson Valley" artistic endeavor or community.Some of the paintings are reproduced very small and I would have liked to see them a bit larger, but overall this book is a great introduction to each of the artists and their work and an interesting overview of this school of artists.After seeing some of these paintings you'll definitely want to follow up on some of these artists and get a larger book on their works and life.

the book to have if you enjoy landscape art
The Hudson River School of Artists included some of the World's greatest artists and their work can be found in this excellently produced book.This book is well written, well organized and shows off the treasures of the Hudson River Artists.

Whanne that Aprille with his shoures soote
The Prologue is the summarized essence of ' The Canterbury Tales' It contains the descriptions of the pilgrims who are to each ideally tell two tales . Chaucer never completes this plan but he does in the prologue give us wonderful character sketches of everyone from the ideally virtuous Knight to the scandalous Wife of Bath . These small portraits outline clearly what is to come but in themselves reveal the world of the Tales . The Prologue is filled with humor and piety, with sacrasm and wit, with beauty of language and harsh social criticism.
It is the microcosm of the whole set of Tales which are to come. A masterpiece though marred to my mind as the whole work is by the Nun Prioress and her unfortunate blood- libel tale. ... Read more

Product Description
Morphosis/Diamond Ranch High School opens with an interview with Thom Payne, founder and principal of the avant-garde California architecture firm Morphosis. The interview outlines Mayne’s working methods and chronicles his development as an architect from his years as a student through the realization of such influential projects as the widely published Crawford House. This is followed by a presentation of a single project, Diamond Ranch High School, at a level of detail not normally found in architectural monographs. Here every crucial architectural decision is extensively illustrated with conceptual sketches, key working drawings, and photographs of the project under construction and after completion. ...

An Original Architecture Book Worth the Money
"Diamond Ranch High School: Source Book in Architecture" is perhaps one of the best books to have if you want to know the process of which great projects come to be.

Divided into three sections, the first section is a documented transcript of Thom Mayne of Morphosis, critic Jeffrey Kipnis, and lecturer Todd Gannon during the Baumer Lecture Series at The Ohio State University.Mr. Kipnis and Mr. Gannon provide some of the best questions to Mr. Mayne - questions that many of us would actually want to ask Mr. Mayne.Likewise, Mr. Mayne's responses are eloquent and insightful.His honesty removes the aura created by his computer renderings and makes you realize that this is simply an individual who loves what he does.

The second section of the book documents the drawings that Morphosis developed for the Diamond Ranch High School.Let's face it - we are usually presented with either a project proposal or a professional finished photograph and drawings are typically excluded from any typical documentation.

The third section contains photos of the project under construction to the final construction photos.

From the Mayne's discussion, to the drawings, and to the photographs, you gain a valuable insight into the true design and development of 'Diamond Ranch High School' that other publications simply gloss over.

This series of books are simply one of the best in contemporary architectural writing and documentation today.

Great Resource for Morphosis Admirers
As an architect, I have followed Thom Mayne's work for a long period of time.I have collected most of his books and have always admired their production quality and most importantly, the depth of the work produced by this firm.They have been and will remain at the forefront of the architectural profession.Despite reading and studying Mayne's work and philosophies in other books, I have always been left unsatisfied, not knowing exactly how the firm works and how a project comes together within their office.The interview with Jeffery Kipnis and Todd Gannon at the front of the book enters into this territory, although I would have liked it to be much longer.The rest of the book is much like other Morphosis' books; full of beautiful sketches, computer renderings and drawings.Images walk the reader from schematic design through completion. ...
