The New York Apartment Houses of Rosario Candela and James Carpenter

6 reviews
Andrew Alpern

Acanthus Press, 2002

Alpern's best work yet
Alpern has written several books about New York apartment buildings and this is his best. This time he focuses exclusively on the genius of two ground-breaking designers, James Carpenter and Rosario Candela. If you are not adept at reading floor plans (of which there are many), it might not be immediately obvious what defines the genius of these two architects. It is the innovation of their ...

Felix Candela: Engineer, Builder, Structural Artist (Princeton University Art Museum Series)
Maria E. Moreyra Garlock, David P. Billington

Yale University Press, 2008

Spanish-born Félix Candela (1910?1997) is acknowledged as a master builder who designed and built innovative thin shell concrete roof structures in Mexico. This book goes further, however, hailing Candela as a structural engineer whose elegant forms should be considered works of art. This handsomely designed volume begins by presenting the lineage of master builders and structural artists who preceded him, including those from the period of ...

Finding The Woman Underneath It All
Margo Candela's debut novel, Underneath It All, is the perfect book to curl up with on a lazy afternoon and escape. Candela creates a likeable character in Jacqueline "Jacqs" Sanchez, a Latina, thirty-something divorcee who has the thankless job of assisting the Mayor of San Francisco's wife with being "Mrs. Mayor" (think a scaled down version of Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada). Couple ...

Life Over Easy

Margo Candela

Kensington, 2007

WoW!!!
I just loved this book! I found her as a suggestion on a web page called "Gadling.com". Her new book "More than this" was a suggestion of Heather Pool. Because I enjoy reading Heathers writings, I thought I'd give Margo a try. I was disappointed when my local B&N and Boarders didn't have the book. It had just came out, BUT they did have "Life over Easy" so I picked it up and read it. Boy ...

More Than This: A Novel

Touchstone, 2008

What if.... delivers
More Than This brings the reader to question, what if? What if I had talked to that guy on the train? What if I had taken an earlier flight? What if? Margo's characters deal with their real lives (she's a poor little rich girl - he's a high powered lawyer with a conscious) but keep running into each other and keep a fantasy life of what if. It's an enjoyable read and hard to put down.
