Summary:

"At long last, here is a book of critical thought that analyzes celebrated architect Arthur Erickson's best work and situates it as a distinctive body of ideas within the mainstream of international architecture in the last half of the twentieth century." "In this book, Nicholas Olsberg draws on Erickson's own discussion of ideas to present a thoughtful and illuminating reassessment of his most important work. Ricardo L. Castro's photography captures essential passages of the works as they have matured into their settings. More than 170 images, including archival photographs, study models, drawings and plans, show how the designs were evolved and their intent conveyed."--Jacket.
