Tropical architecture has always had to contend with environmental challenges—torrential rain, insufferable heat, humidity—and has developed in very particular ways as a result. Practicality was paramount in traditional, vernacular architecture, leading to elements such as pitched roofs, broad overhangs and eaves, large windows and doors, and verandas, features also romanticized during colonization.

In “The Iconic Tropical House,” Patrick Bingham-Hall () explores how architects working across the tropics today assert a contemporary expression of this architectural niche given the climate constraints, at once inspired by but also seeking to be distinct from styles in the region’s architectural history.

Publishing on September 23 in North America, the book covers forty-five stunning residences from India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia, and northern Australia. Swipe through for a peek at some of them.

Thank you to everyone who came down to the sold-out signing event for “Buzz Me In: Inside the Record Plant Studios” last Friday with the book’s authors, Martin Porter and David Goggin!

The event was held at Books by the Bay in Sausalito, CA, a bookstore near the original Record Plant Sausalito, one of the three recording studios in the Record Plant family that was the site of some of the stories and shenanigans told in the book. The building is now fully restored and named 2200 Studios.

Many of the studio’s alumni from the 1970s attended the event, including former studio managers and the original engineering technical team, as well as new owners Chris Skarakis and Jim Rees.
