"The Charged Void: Architecture is the first book available on the
enormous legacy of Alison and Peter Smithson; a companion volume, The
Charged Void: Urbanism, is currently in the preparation. Assembled by
the architects themselves and including more than 125 projects over
more than 50 years, the volume is an unparalleled record of a career
- and two lives - in architecture. Fifteen thematic sections
highlight areas of inquiry; ordering, urban structuring, natural
light, density. Archival photographs (many featuring the architects),
drawings, and diagrams illustrate the designs. Much of the text is
drawn from original project descriptions. It is in turn serious and
humorous, introspective and inclusive. The Smithsons have also added
contemporary commentary to provide a context for the work."--BOOK
