Book excerpt: For more than twenty years, David Piscuskas and Juergen Riehm, principals of 1100 Architect, have worked toward a refined architecture that captures the spirit of early modernism and translates traditional sensibilities of harmony, composition, and precision into a contemporary context. The firm's designs do not adhere to any specific stylistic codes but do have a recognizable, yet understated architectural signature: an elegance of proportion, a subtle mix of colors, meticulous details and craftsmanship. Each project shown in this volume, the first monograph on the work of 1100, exemplifies that signature. Presented with exquisite color photographs, working drawings, models, and sketches, the designs range from apartments and houses (many for clients in the worlds of art, fashion, and theater) to retail and art-related spaces, including the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, TSE, J.Crew, and Metro Pictures, all in New York. Paralleling the diverse visual material, the rich and layered text epitomizes the nature of Piscuskas and Riehm's partnership, simultaneously exploring the relationship between the architects and their architecture, the literal and the abstract, the tactile and the visual.

Book excerpt: For more than twenty years, David Piscuskas and Juergen Riehm, principals of 1100 Architect, have honed a distinctive architecture informed by proportion, materiality, light, and detail. The firm's designs do not adhere to any specific stylistic codes but do share an understated architectural signature: an elegance of proportion, an innovative yet direct use of materials, a meticulous execution. A sequel to the best-selling 1100 Architect (1997), this new monograph includes twenty recent buildings and projects, notably Little Red School House and Elisabeth Irwin High School and the Irish Hunger Memorial, in New York City, and the Naha City Gallery and Apartment House, in Japan. The firm's work encompasses cultural, institutional, residential, and commercial work. In addition to a perceptive essay by a long-time observer of the firm's work, the partners discuss five design elements essential to their practice: detail, materiality, effortlessness, permeability, and recognition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eye-Popping Show-Stopping Libraries starts out by recounting the beginning of the relationship between the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the American Library Association (ALA) to establish the Library Building awards and traces the development of the program over the following five decades. In the next seven chapters the authors have grouped selected award-winning libraries by big themes, to explore the evolution of service innovations and design trends; most of the selected case studies include exterior and interior photographs, as well as floor plans. The final chapter offers some thoughts on what a half-century of award-winning architecture can tell us about the future of library service and library design. In the afterword the authors review the initial round of seventeen award-winning libraries from 1963, to assess how the designs have held up over time, and to describe the current disposition of the building. Three appendixes offer a chronological list of award recipients, an alphabetical list of awardees by library, and an alphabetical list by architect. The fourth and final appendix is a chronological list of jury members. This full-color, beautifully illustrated with 141 images book presents these exemplary libraries as an exploration of the evolution of library service and design. It examines the award-winning libraries by big themes to explore how service trends and design trends have evolved. Documentation of featured library buildings (including photographs and plans) is an important element.
