SynopsisPraised for its unabashed portrait of the 'death care' industry, HBO's 'Six Feet Under' is less about the business of death than the art of living well. It was created by Alan Ball ('American Beauty') and centres on a Pasadena undertakers run by two brothers, with their mom and teenage sister making up the dysfunctional family quarter. This innovative, controversial show charts difficult territory, from death, dying and bereavement, to female and gay sexualities, laying bare in the process an American cultural consciousness. 'Six Feet Under' first aired among HBO's 'must-see' Sunday night line-up in 2001, going on to establish itself as a critical and ratings winner. This book on the groundbreaking show examines such themes as the modern sacred and profane, pornography and the dead body, magic realism and the grotesque, American cultural politics, self-help culture, family relationships, homosexuality and re-thinking the closet, the church and gay politics, motherhood and teenage rebellion. Entertaining and enlightening in equal measure it contains a complete episode guide to the first four series of 'Six Feet Under'., Sasaki Associates is one of the world's leading interdisciplinary design firms. Its work touches every aspect of the built environment--Architecture, Planning and Urban Design, Landscape Architecture, Eco-Technologies, Interior Design and Graphic Design. Clients include the world's leading universities, major development organizations and cities across the United States and throughout the world. Sasaki designed the master plan for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Green. Sasaki: Intersection and Convergence describes the depth and geographic breadth of the firm's work: The Spaces and Learning section details plans, buildings and landscapes that capture the future possibilities of universities; Regenerative Cities focuses on transformative new uses and neighborhoods from Ho Chi Minh City to Chicago; and New Social Realities chronicles designs informed by epochal changes in human habitation, technology and lifestyle. At once global and cosmopolitan, yet also sustainable and strategic, Sasaki's projects are as varied and multi-layered as the clients and communities they serve. "Their projects pay close attention to the natural and cultural environments they occupy," writes Susan S. Szenasy, Editor-in-Chief of Metropolis magazine, in her foreword to this visually and intellectually compelling look at one of the most influential design firms in practice today.
