Loblolly House : elements of a new architecture / Stephen Kieran, James Timberlake ; preface by Barry Bergdoll ; introduction by Michael Stace




This book writes about the location and process of the Loblolly House, going into specific detail about the piles, scaffold, cartridge, block, and FFE. 

"[Loblolly House] reveals that architecture, conceived as a product, can be customized for an individual client and a specific site without compromising he clarity of its union of designing fabrication thereby putting to rest two of the oldest anxieties about factory-made architecture." 


KieranTimberlake : inquiry / Karl Wallick ; introduction by Stephen Kieran and James Timberlake.




Rather than a listing of the projects done by KieranTimberlake, this books goes into ten architectural actions, or possibly even innovations, that give insight to the minds of KieranTimberlake

"Architecture is not exactly whole: we remember instances, elements, and details, but rarely are the experiences and sensations in architectural experience comprehensive. The context of what we do as architects is also fragmentary, even as it seeks to be resolved comprehensively. Rather than insisting on the totality of complete works, architecture might 
be better understood as an infinite matrix of detailed moments."
