"My own use of the camera began in 1954 as I started to think about
what a new building in New York - the Seagram building - could be.
While in Rome during Easter, through the lens of a camera I had
hardly used, I began to observe the quality of buildings: how they
sat on the land, their articulation, and how architectural details
related to a building as a whole." - Phyllis Lambert This curiosity
is a constant in the work of Phyllis Lambert, who has devoted her
career to studying and engaging with the changing conditions of
urban landscapes. In this collection of personal photographs taken
over several decades during her daily routines, her travels, or at
work, obser- vation turns into a quest to understand and reveal
what might otherwise remain overlooked.

A young girl's odyssey from birth to young adult growing up on a
farm from 1934 to 1950 in upstate New York
The Ben Ezra Synagogue, in Cairo, is best known as the synogogue in
which the 'Cairo Geniza' was found--an astonishingly rich store of
ancient books, manuscripts, correspondences, and records dating
back to the tenth century. Copiously illustrated with plans,
engravings, and photographs, "Fortifications and the Synagogue"
describes the recent restoration of this ancient synagogue, as well
as the historical and archaeological research essential to its
preservation and to an understanding of the religious communities
that founded modern Cairo. The work is unprecedented in its
comprehensive examination of the subject, presenting the first
measured survey and photographic study of the fortress and
synagogue, the first thorough study of the Geniza manuscripts, and
a complete history of the synagogue from the Geniza period to the
present.
