Summary:

"Featuring the international residential, corporate, educational, and institutional work that has positioned the firm among the world's architectural elite, this look at Gwathmey Siegel's thirty-five-year career is unprecedented in its scope and detail. The twenty-six projects documented here with full-color photography, drawings, and insightful project descriptions - including the seminal Gwathmey Residence and Studio (1965), the controversial renovation and addition to Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum (1992), and the David Geffen Company Building in Beverly Hills (2000) - document the evolution of the firm's work from the highly disciplined modernism of their earliest houses to the investigative collage assemblages of their most recent work. This volume reveals the complete Gwathmey Siegel design philosophy and certifies why their work, along with that of Richard Meier, Robert A. M. Stern, Frank Gehry, and Michael Graves, is among American architecture's most important."--BOOK JACKET.
