Book excerpt: One of the most prominent and prolific designers and architects of the late twentieth century, Michael Graves is best known for his popular product designs, including the world-famous Alessi whistling-bird teakettle, and controversial buildings, such as the Portland Building in Oregon, Humana Building in Kentucky, and Dolphin and Swan Hotels at Walt Disney World, Florida. Graves was widely seen as the leading voice of postmodernist architecture, which reintroduced human scale, color, and, sometimes, playful forms into the stark white vocabulary of modernism. Following a devastating illness that paralyzed him from the chest down, Graves became a tireless designer and advocate of improved health-care products and facilities before his sudden death in 2015. Shortly before this, he began a series of interviews with journalist Ian Volner, which form the basis of this biography of a remarkable designer. Volner also conducted numerous interviews with Graves's family, patrons, colleagues, and friends. What emerges is a meticulously researched, anecdote-rich human story, as well as a primer on the American architecture scene of the past sixty years and a portrait of a man whose deep passion for his art brought pleasure to millions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past three decades, Michael Graves's career has been one of the most remarkably creative and successful of any American architect practicing today. His extensive oeuvre includes such renowned projects as the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel and the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel in Florida, the San Juan Capistrano Library in California, and the precedent-setting Portland Building in Oregon, as well as designs for his highly popular lines of furniture, home furnishings, and artifacts. When introduced in the late 1970s, Graves's figurative architectural language marked a radical departure from the abstract modernist forms that had dominated postwar architecture. Today his signature aesthetic - elemental shapes, references to historical forms, and warm colors that often reflect Italian and classical influences - is recognized worldwide. Presented in this monograph are seventy-one of Graves's built and unbuilt projects of the past five years, generously illustrated with photographs and plans, as well as Graves's evocative sketches and colored facade drawings. Featured projects in the United States include the Denver Central Library in Colorado; The Team Disney Building, Disney's corporate executive offices in Burbank, California; the Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University in Atlanta, with its extraordinary galleries for ancient art; and several private residences, including Graves's own Italianate villa in Princeton, New Jersey.
Download or read book Michael Graves written by Michael Graves and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2003 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly forty years, Michael Graves has produced architecture with a blend of classical rigor and abstract whimsy that has consistently garnered international recognition. This, the fourth chronological volume of Michael Graves' buildings and projects documents the latest period in a career of award-winning design. With more than 100 projects illustrated by over 300 color photographs and architectural drawings by Michael Graves & Associates, this volume demonstrates Graves' enduring status as a leading American architect. Michael Graves recombines traditional architectural elements to expand and transform the language of architecture. Valuing character over style, Graves' designs maintain a sense of experimentation while respecting scale, culture and history. Michael Graves considers himself a "general practitioner" rather than a specialist in any one building type or discipline. He has widely influenced architecture, interior design and industrial design, as well as the classroom through his nearly 40-year career at Princeton University. He and his associates design not only the architecture but also the interiors and furnishings of their projects. Graves' extensive line of products for Target has made highquality design both affordable and readily available. The contemporary, contextual designs of Michael Graves can be found worldwide, from multi-use urban developments, corporate headquarters and hotels to libraries, museums, academic buildings and private residences. Projects in this volume range from the Washington Monument Restoration, which transformed the restoration project into public art, to the United States Embassy Compound in Seoul, Korea; and from the LIFE Magazine Dream House, which provided a well designed and flexible prototype for the average house, to the Miramar Resort Hotel and El Gouna Golf Hotel and Club in El Gouna, Egypt.
