5.0 out of 5 stars What?, Dec 17 2011
By DrX - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Music and Architecture: Architectural Projects, Texts, and Realizations (Hardcover)
I'm not sure which book PigBoy is looking at, but it can't possibly be Music and Architecture! This book, which I have in front of me, is a beautiful publication, containing valuable photos or sketches on almost every page. Most of this material has not been seen before, I believe. For anyone interested in Xenakis and his architectural and multimedia work, there is no more important book. Sharon Kanach and Pendragon have done excellent work to bring this publication out, in hardcover, for such a reasonable price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great History, Mar 28 2012
By Joel C - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Music and Architecture: Architectural Projects, Texts, and Realizations (Hardcover)
Xenakis is one of the most exceptional, indeed original, composers of the 20th century, in large part because he drew his musical ideas from an interdisciplinary world. His training was as a civil engineer, but after working for a while for Le Corbusier in Paris, he took on many architectural projects, among them the Philips Pavilion for the Brussels World's Fair in 1958. This book not only gives us a detailed factual accounting of his many architectural projects, including the Philips Pavilion, but it also has an unusually large and magnificent collection of photos, of different stages of construction in various projects and of different aspects of the finished projects, some of them 50 or more years old, that show us in images his process of thought in developing an architectural plan. Most of the information in this book is not available elsewhere. I can not imagine a more exhaustively researched, complete and coherent book on this subject, or better written and presented, or with better translations from the French notes and documents, or with more carefully selected photographs and images. Sharon Kanach has done a superb job in translating and putting this all together, and we owe her a major round of applause!Music and Architecture (Iannis Xenakis)

Let me be direct: DO NOT, under any circumstances, waste your money on this book. Badly pixalated images, cheap binding and cheaper paper, and fuzzy scans--all this for a mere $45! The fact that someone at the publishing company knowingly let this out of the print shop and into the marketplace is truly remarkable. Seriously folks, this is the most amateurish printing I've ever seen. A huge disappointment.
