Steven Ehrlich Architects: A Dynamic Serenity

Rating:
Summary: A Prospectus for the Architect
Review: Despite the architect's versatility, this book concentrates on his involvement in residential houses. All the works featured here are based in West Coast particularly Venice where Steven works and resides. There are a mere eleven works featured in this book, starting with the architect's own houses and ending appropriately with a massive house to be built for his client in Dubai. According to the author & reinforced by a short essay written by Steven Ehrlich himself, he endeavours to integrate humanity and sustainablity into his works. From a quick glance of his works here, they are in the traditions of Richard Neutra & Schlinder who left their marks in California. There are four components in this book contents: Venice -making much of little, additions & transformations, expanding into the landscape & lastly, the firm profile. The book is a mere 128 pages, & the presentation is okay enough. It's a good introduction to Steven Ehrlich. Interesting read.
