Description
Richly illustrated, and accompanied by in-depth analysis, Flansburgh Architects: Structure, Form, Community 2010-2025 is the first-ever comprehensive monograph from one of America's most prodigious makers of public buildings, bringing together 20 remarkable projects from around the country and around the world. Since its founding more than six decades ago, the Boston-based firm has built a reputation for a uniquely resourceful approach to institutional work, with designs that frequently make a virtue of constraint: in delicate urban as well as rural environments, in complex historical contexts and under challenging practical conditions, Flansburgh has again and again produced dazzling buildings that solve tough, real-world problems with grace and ingenuity to spare. In a sleek new international school in Croatia; at a rustic dance studio for the Jacob's Pillow retreat in western Massachusetts; and in the new Lili'uokalani Center for at-risk youth in Honolulu, gleaming like a lighthouse on the nighttime streets-everywhere Flansburgh has left its mark, the practice's dedication to an architecture of honesty and simplicity has made for stronger, more vibrant communities. Through images and words, this book affords a glimpse into 15 years of extraordinary activity and accomplishment.
