Rizzoli International Publications, 1993

Probably the best book on KPF
This book captures the work of this firm in what is my opinion their peak time. This book shows the firm most influential works. Not everybody will be fan of the corporate post-modern style but it can't be denied that KPF was responsible for some of the best and most iconic skyscrapers and skyscraper-solutions of the last 20 years. And although the title says it contains the work up to '92 you ...

Intentions in Architecture
Christian Norberg-Schulz

The MIT Press, 1968

Norberg-Schulz is a practicing architect?his buildings stand in several countries?and he elucidates the nature of architectural reality with a practiced eye and from a practical viewpoint. Although the methods and theory that his book develops are uncompromisingly rigorous and tightly formed, they are everywhere related to actual building, through specific examples and through the use of over 100 photographs. The structure that ...

Gennaro Postiglione, Christian Norberg-Schulz

Monacelli, 1997

Excellent monograph on superlative architect's work
Sverre Fehn is one of the most poetic and powerful architects alive, largely unknown to the American community until his winning the Pritzger Prize two years ago. This excellent monograph, by his close friend, reviews his entire career and shows his most important works very well, and Norberg-Schulz places him in the context of his time and place, making the work even more accessible. ...

Nightlands: Nordic Building
Christian Norberg-Schulz

The MIT Press, 1997

Nightlands is a pioneering exploration of both the forms and poetics of Nordic place.

From a medieval castle in Sweden to an Aalto-designed sanitorium in Finland, this landmark work explores the myths, meanings, and built realities of ...
