Books and Chapters

 
  Anderson, Peter, and Mark Anderson. Prefab Prototypes: Site-Specific Design for Off-Site Fabrication. New York: Princeton Architectural Press, 2006 (currently in press).
This is a self-authored critical review and presentation of my design work and its theoretical context, relating to an important and significantly influential thread in my work devoted to issues of construction process rationalization and affordable construction, within the context of my commitment to place- and culture-specific design of sustainable buildings and public spaces. The publisher invited me to produce this book after a rigorous editorial selection process as the first in a new series of books that the publisher intends to produce on prefabrication and innovative new construction technologies. The publisher has invited me to be a co-editor of this forthcoming series.
  Anderson, Peter, and Mark Anderson. Critical Mass . Charlotte, NC: College of Architecture, University of North Carolina, 2006.
Critical mass is a graduate student organization linking students at UNCC, NCSU, University of Virginia, and several other prominent Southeastern schools of architecture. Mark and Peter Anderson were the first architects invited to lecture, review, and participate in discussion events for this student group and in the event covered in an earlier publication of this group. For this book, I was invited to write an essay chapter, and to present some of my recent design projects.
  Anderson, Mark, and Peter Anderson. Anderson Anderson; Architecture and Construction. New York: Princeton Architectural Press, 2001. Architecture design monograph, with critical introduction by Donlyn Lyndon.
The publisher invited me to produce a critical book on my work as part of a series of architecture monographs covering emerging critical practices in architecture. This book is unusual in the type, for both presenting a large body of design work and setting this work within an extensive retrospective critical text written by the architect. (An advance copy of this book was available prior to my arrival at Berkeley, but the official publication release was in Fall 2001, accompanying an exhibition and publication event at Storefront for Art and Architecture in New York, a prominent architecture exhibition venue significant in art and design discourse).
