Richard Meier

Description:

In this book Werner Blaser presents the most important buildings and projects that Richard Meier has produced and designed in recent years. All the buildings and projects are presented from the same aspects: situation, program, circulation, structure, texture, layers. This permits an effective comparison of the various buildings, and brings out their aesthetic individuality and the guiding principles behind their construction. By highlighting key details, the monograph demonstrates the allegiance of Meier's latest works to the ideal of classical art, combining the simple with the noble into a contemporary harmonious whole.
