Richard Meier, Architect: 1985/1991"A sequel and companion to Richard Meier, architect (Rizzoli, 1984), this substantial new volume resumes the documentation of the numerous and varied works created since 1984 by one of America's most important architects and a winner of the Pritzker Prize for Architecture. Meire's crisp, dynamic, and elegant designs stand forth in all their purity in this illustrated volume designed by Massimo Vegnelli. Included are his Museum for the Decorative Arts and the Museum of Ethnology, both in Frankfort: the Getty Center, Los Angeles; The Hauge City Hall and Central Library; the Canal+ Headquarters, Paris; and several private houses. Twenty-eight projects in all are presented, as well as a chapter devoted to Meier's object designs."--Back flap of cover. |
