two new books

Two recent books featuring PRE and a little PRE work:

First up is The Studio-X New York Guide to Liberating New Forms of Conversation (edited by the ever-wonderful Gavin Browning, featuring an afterward by Mark Wigley and the graphic design of MTWTF). The guide includes a few of Leah's events with the Buell Center as well as PRE's event in October 2009 and 2010's RAPID RESPONSE: Spontaneous Architecture.

Second, Dimitris Kottas' Contemporary Digital Architecture: Design and Techniques features Leah's 2009 collaboration with SoftRigid's Brian Brush and Yong Ju Lee, "Ornamental Connectivity: Form, Fabrication, and Data Environments." The project was an experiment in the potential intersections of GIS analysis and digital fabrication techniques.
