Trafficking in Marginalia Forthis issue we compiled a reading list of suggestions from our friends and colleagues.

As the titles came in, we noticed that the overwhelming majority bore no direct relation

to conventional architectural discourse. It may be the summer, or it may just be that everyone

blew their budget on S,M,L,XL.ln any event, we continue this sidesteppingof the mainstream

and present reviews of books thatthemselves are disparate collections of essays on art theory,

visuality and postmodern urbanism. Grahame Shane describes incursions made by alternate

voices and views of the city in Postmodern Cities and Spaces, Joe Day argues for a broadening of architectural vision in a decade of pragmatism in his review of the Dia Art Foundation

Discussion Series, while Kevin O'Brien poses alternatives to erudition in his review of

Compulsive Beauty. Meanwhile, Tom Marble describes the materialization of a screenplay in the mind of

a designer, while Arden Yang presents the architectural imaginings of a movie producer,

In closing this issuewe remember the passing of a good friend. The newsletter has been redesigned, and we gratefully acknowledge the talents
