Effortless and inevitable are architect Steven Harris`s two favorite words. With sensitivity to the surrounding landscape, Harris designs homes custom-made to his client`s daily-lived experience. His dining rooms are not aggrandizements of tradition, they are places to eat, to gather, or even work; his entry halls are not the primary places of arrival, but rather the final segments of a long trajectory that begins when the resident turns off the main road or exits the elevator. True Life, the firm`s first monograph, showcases Harris`s residential work over the past twenty-five years.

Book Description "My weimaraners are perfect fashion models. Their elegant slinky forms are covered in gray-and gray, everyone knows, goes with anything." -William Wegman William Wegman`s fanciful photographs and videos of his dogs-seen in galleries and books and on Sesame Street, t-shirts, screensavers, and more-have made him one of America`s best-loved artists. Published to accompany a major traveling exhibition, this book presents Wegman`s most intriguing and provocative portfolio to date: a series of eerily anthropomorphic (and very funny) high-fashion photographs.
