Assembly by Design
How the United Nations headquarters became the architectural instrument and broadcast medium of global diplomacy For almost seven years after World War II, a small group of architects took on an exciting task: to imagine the spaces of global governance for a new political organization called the United Nations (UN). To create the iconic headquarters of the UN in New York City, these architects experimented with room layouts, media technologies, and design in tribunal courtrooms, assembly halls, and council chambers. The result was the creation of a new type of public space, the global interior. Assembly by Design shows how this space leveraged media to help the UN communicate with the world. With its media infrastructure, symbols, acoustic design, and architecture, the global interior defined political assembly both inside and outside the UN headquarters, serving as the architectural medium to organize multilateral encounters of international publics around the globe. Demonstrating

Dexter by Design
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Married life seems to agree with 'the first serial killer who unabashedly solicits our love' (Entertainment Weekly)--the character that inspired the latest Showtime hit series Dexter: Resurrection. 'Wonderfully fresh and packed with just the right amount of grotesquerie and wry wit.'--USA Today After his surprisingly glorious honeymoon in Paris, life is almost normal for Dexter Morgan. He's devoted to his bride, his stomach is full, and his homicidal hobbies are nicely under control. But old habits die hard--and Dexter's work as a blood spatter analyst never fails to offer new temptations that appeal to his offbeat sense of justice. Not to mention that his Dark Passenger still waits to hunt with him in the moonlight. The discovery of a corpse (artfully displayed as a sunbather relaxing on a Miami beach chair) naturally piques Dexter's curiosity and Miami's finest realize they've got a terrifying new serial killer on the loose. And Dexter, of course, is back
