Individual architects & architectural firms; Architectural structure & design; Architecture: professional practice

This collection of work exemplifies how architecture has the power to bring people together by design, allowing them to engage with one another in new ways, to generate ideas, share their passions, and build communities.

Good buildings require an understanding of the principles of structure, light, space, and material, but great buildings require an understanding of people. The most successful inspire through the interactions and connections made within them. Gathering in the latest book from the award-winning architecture firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, the fourteen projects included i this volume range greatly in size, function, and aesthetic, from the High Meadow Dwellings at Fallingwater to the Newport Beach Civic Center in Southern Californa to Apple Stores located around the world. Through full-colour photographs as well as conceptual sketches and diagrams, each case study gives insight into Bohlin Cywinski Jackson's design process, and how the firm's approach has helped transform clients' institutions, workplaces, retail environments, research laboratories, and public spaces into extraordinary places for people.

The firm is recognised for elegant and humane design, ranging in scale and circumstance from major academic, civic, cultural, and corporate buildings to private homes, large and small. Its architecture is alive to the subtleties of place, both man-made and natural; to the varied natures of people; to the character of institutions; and to the rich possibilities of material and means of construction. Since 1965, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson has received more than 600 design awards, including nine AIA National Honor Awards and three AIA Committee on the Environment (COTE) Top Ten Green Projects.
