Описание: The work of this Europe-based architectural design firm is an important addition to the Images Plishing Group's "Master Architect Series", which showcases the most significant works of today's leading international architects. For the firm's founders and principals, Denis Valode and Jean Pistre, each project they embark on is "a social act for both client and user, an act based upon original research and reflection, an act of creation in response to a specific program and site". This philosophy and the firm's exacting requirements for quality in design and construction have ensured that Valode and Pistre's work has been in constant demand around the world. This monograph (the first of the firm's work in English language) bears testament to their international renown, detailing major works in their portfolio, which includes commercial, retail, industrial and cultural projects.

Описание: Migration from the countryside to cities is a global phenomenon, placing increased population and transport pressures on cities around the world. And yet there are precious few great transit developments, little variety in the ones we do have, only rare examples of development profitability, and consequently, minimal motivation for our industry and our communities. Urban Transformation is really about providing the critical inspiration to change this situation. It is about restocking our weak architectural portfolio of transit facilities with dynamic new models. It is about recognizing the potential value and longevity of these projects, and making them exceptional rather than forgettable. The powerful cases in this book remove the excuses for mediocrity and mundane functionality, and show us how to excel. The text introduces an understandable typology of development around transit, and uses that to illustrate different strategies and design techniques. There is a broad range and scale of projects represented—large and small, domestic and global, big markets and modest communities—and each an excellent example of what can be realized.

Описание: This book presents a selection of GUND Partnership's recent work, reflecting the firm's continuing commitment to the social and narrative power of architecture. Beginning with a respect for the principles of site and context as form drivers, the projects seek to knit together mission and materials in new ways. Whether an urban or campus intervention or a pristine landscape, the most successful solutions are those that tie into their organizing context.

At the same time, these projects acknowledge their surroundings without imitation through a commitment to human scale, as clear conception of space and its progression, and a desire to provide delight through the unexpected. Led by founding partner Graham Gund, FAIA, the office is located in a restored courthouse in Cambridge, Massachusetts, originally designed by Charles Bulfinch. The firm is the recipient of more that 100 regional and national design awards for excellence.
