Résumé:

"Armed with a rare combination of talents - a clear understanding of the ability of the retail program to support his social and architectural vision - Jon Jerde has established himself not only as a hugely successful shopping and entertainment center architect but also as a veritable alchemist of the urban condition. Hired by developers and city managers around the world to transform sites inside and outside of urban environments, The Jerde Partnership International is brought in to analyze what could improve the life of a designated area, street, neighborhood or city. The firm devises site-specific, large-scale strategies for "place-making," weaving together "objects" in the modern urban landscape, in order to stimulate social and economic regeneration, encouraging new vitality and interaction." "This is the first monograph to thoroughly examine the Jerde phenomenon - work that architects, developers and cultural critics cite as being revelatory. Twenty-five of The Jerde Partnership International's most significant built and unbuilt projects illustrate how Jerde synthesizes commerce and public life in a way that will revolutionize the design of twenty-first-century cities."--BOOK JACKET.
