Architecture's social narrative through Gund Partnership’s lens.

If you have an interest in how architecture can narrate a community’s ethos and weave into the very fabric of its environment, you might find this book compelling. It’s a deep dive into Gund Partnership’s approach to architectural design, which skillfully balances respect for context with inventive material use. The visuals and discussions in this book offer a rich insight into spatial design that honors human scale and surprises with delight. Whether you’re a student of design or just appreciate architecture's role in storytelling, this book could be a source of both inspiration and education.

Description

This book presents a selection of GUND Partnership's recent work, reflecting the firm's continuing commitment to the social and narrative power of architecture. Beginning with a respect for the principles of site and context as form drivers, the projects seek to knit together mission and materials in new ways. Whether an urban or campus intervention or a pristine landscape, the most successful solutions are those that tie into their organizing context. At the same time, these projects acknowledge their surroundings without imitation through a commitment to human scale, as clear conception of space and its progression, and a desire to provide delight through the unexpected. Led by founding partner Graham Gund, FAIA, the office is located in a restored courthouse in Cambridge, Massachusetts, originally designed by Charles Bulfinch. The firm is the recipient of more that 100 regional and national design awards for excellence.
