Book Review: Between Spaces
Between Spaces by Smith-Miller + Hawkinson, published by Princeton Architectural Press, 2000. Paperback, 176 pages. (Amazon)
Featuring photography by Judith Turner and an introduction by John Hedjuk, this book covers six built works of the New York duo (four in their home state, one in Los Angeles, and one in North Carolina) and one unbuilt work. Turner's black-and-white photographs focus on connections: wall and ceiling, structure and facade, etc. Coupled with the architects' drawings and models, one gains an understanding of each project both in totality and in detail. Hedjuk's introduction is a nice balance of personal experience and poetic insight. The words and images together make for a lushly illustrated monograph with few words but none superfluous or wasted.
