Description
Anthony Poon's passion for music
inspires a vibrant architecture that engages its users and the
environment. Affordability and sustainability are hallmarks of Poon's
designs, which fuse quality and innovation. His success explodes the
myth that architect-designed houses are more expensive and challenging
than generic solutions and raises the bar for developers and architects
alike. This monograph explores three fields in which Poon Design have
excelled: housing, schools, and restaurants. It explains how they enrich
the experience of living, learning, and eating, and promote social
interaction. Readers can track the creative process from concept sketch
to model, plan to completion.
