POSTCARD FROM CHRISTCHURCH Dear ArchitectureWeek, On my first day in Christchurch, New Zealand, I was eager to explore the city's cultural heart. After enjoying the brilliant blossoms of the Christchurch Botanic Gardens, I headed east toward downtown, where my eyes were drawn to a group of stone buildings from another century.

A TENT ON THE BEACH Residential architect and teacher Marcel Sedletzky was born in Russia but lived most of his professional life in Monterey, California. His style was a blend of high modernism, like that of Marcel Breuer, with the organic fusion of form and site of Frank Lloyd Wright. Sedletzky's houses embody his passion for drama, and his collaborations with his clients were often dramatic as well. — Editor

STEREO PHOTOGRAPHY FOR ARCHITECTURE Stereoscopic architectural photography provides an evocative visual experience, through its ability to record subtle qualities of space, light, and materials, that can only be suggested by flat media. Stereo photography positions scene artifacts in space, simulates interior space enclosed by the envelope, and effectively renders the dispersal and reflectance of light that define the tactile and visual qualities of materials.
