Résumé:

"Arthur Erickson was one of the 20th century's premier architects, but little has been written about the man who designed the interiors of Erickson's award-winning buildings, whom everyone in the business simply called "Francisco." A decade before his death, Erickson wrote this manuscript to pay tribute to Kripacz and to tell the world of the importance of Francisco's creations. With stunning images from some of greatest photographers of the day, such as Yousuf Karsh, this book looks at Erickson's key projects and the crucial contributions made by Kripacz to their feel and glamour. It includes Erickson's extended commentary on some of North America's most famous architectural projects from the 1970's through the 1990s, including Roy Thomson Hall, Eppich House, California Plaza, Kaiser Permanente, and the Canadian Embassy in Washington, DC., all of which had stunning interior designs and furniture by Kripasz. As this book goes to press, the Kripacz-designed furniture line, the Erickson Design Collection, is being brought back into manufacture for the first time in years, thus showing the lasting relevance of these creations. Francisco Kripacz: Interior Design is a beautiful legacy to the working partnership of a charismatic and passionate artistic duo--a last testament from a remarkable architect to the man who shared in his greatest achievements."-- Provided by publisher.
