Arquitectonica

by Beth Dunlop
Arquitectonica - Thryft
Arquitectonica - Thryft

Abstract modernism meets romance: Arquitectonica.

Arquitectonica's unconventional modernism, blending abstract and romantic elements, is wonderfully captured in this book. With over 40 projects covered, readers can see the firm's playful and dramatic style in full display. The book's use of color is also a unique aspect that reflects the importance of this element to Arquitectonica's work. Overall, this book is a great recommendation for anyone interested in contemporary architecture and design.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

First known for its flamboyant contributions to Miami's skyline, the firm of Arquitectonica and its brilliant young principals, Bernardo Fort-Bressia and Laurinda Spear, have pursued an unconventional modernism that is both abstract and romantic, playful and dramatic. This lovely book covers some 40 projects, with text by Dunlop and a rich visual narrative by Massimo Vignelli. The book's lavish use of color reflects the importance of that element to Arquitectonica's work. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
