Sundancing The Art and Architecture of James Lambeth

Anyone interested in the development of architecture over the past twenty years - & speculating on the future shape of our homes & cities - will enjoy this book on James Lambeth's work. The designs are spirited, varied & complex, showing incredible flexibility within the dictates of solar design. Lambeth is among the wittiest & most prophetic of the "new breed of solar architects" that emerged in the early seventies. While developing a personal, unique American "style," the resulting solar projects were among the most energy efficient ever created in the United States. Lambeth's scope is wide with projects spanning the globe, including mass housing designs for Tokyo, Hong Kong, Berlin & Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Private residences adopt their character from their diverse & respective environments: from a desert compound in southern Nevada, mountain lodges in Aspen & Estes Park, to a private home on the Intracoastal Waterway of East Florida. His art has been a means of expressing & clarifying his ideas. His product designs range from furniture & jewelry to solar efficient mobile homes. This book is a beautiful visual documentation of James Lambeth's two decades of "SUNDANCING." More than 350 illustrations are included, over 200 of them in full color.Im, Hun B. is the author of 'Sundancing The Art and Architecture of James Lambeth', published 1992 under ISBN 9780960167883 and ISBN 0960167889.
