Summary: Smoke and mirrors.
Comment: This book is clear representation of what these "star" students were unable to accomplish (namely David Burns and Paul Preissner) during their brief stint in Venice. This book attempts to hoodwink the reader into believing that there was actually a bit of experimentation in this so-called "laboratory." These pages of archi-babble prove that glossy images can go the distance with the proper spin. Also, Hani Rashid's blurring of boundaries, between the work of his students and that of his private office, is rather egregious.

Rating: 4
Summary: Good review of Young Architects work..
Comment: This is a great book showing the work of sutdents under the tutelage of 2 progressive Architects...
Not all the images are great, nor is the text completely compelling, but there is a beauty evident in the initial investigations of these young students... This read like a book that could document the beginning of a new movement, with the students documented within becoming players in the landscape in the near future.. you can already find the work of architects like Dave Burns (Auburn Univ) and Paul Preissner in other biennales and exhibitions and influencing a 4th breed of students.. Colubmia and UCLA were two schools that have trained a new generation and this book in a way puts an end to the investigations of those institutions and starts anew.
