Lavishly illustrated and beautifully produced, the catalogue raisonné spans Smith’s influential intellectual and creative pursuits in the field. It is the first volume to offer a complete record of Smith’s architectural output and is the most comprehensive documentation to date of Smith’s built and unbuilt works. Combined with \u003ci\u003eAgainst Reason: Tony Smith, Architecture, and Other Modernisms\u003c\/i\u003e, these two books devoted to architecture are part of the Tony Smith Catalogue Raisonné Project, which presents Smith’s complete oeuvre in sculpture and architecture, while positioning his transdisciplinary practice in dialogue with contemporary voices in art and architecture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSmith often reflected in writing on art, architecture, literature, and culture, yet his writing was not published like many of his contemporaries. This book presents never-before-published writings by Smith. The texts complement architectural projects presented in the catalogue raisonné while serving as a core sample of the voluminous writing in the Tony Smith Archives yet to be studied by future researchers.Preface\u003cbr\u003eJames Voorhies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReader’s Guide\u003cbr\u003eJames Voorhies and Sarah Auld\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn Building: The Architecture of Tony Smith\u003cbr\u003eJohn Keenen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Archive of a Creative Mind\u003cbr\u003eCynthia Davidson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChronology\u003cbr\u003eJohn Keenen and Christopher Ketcham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue Raisonné: Architecture\u003cbr\u003eEntries by John Keenen and Christopher Ketcham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTony Smith: Writings on Architecture\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy must the house be a cube?
