Review
"[Bohlin Cywinski Jackson's] body of work, which spans 45 years and ranges from small vacation houses to Apple’s striking retail stores, is based on the idea that architecture should murmur rather than shout, and that it isn’t about style. Instead, it’s about responding to a building’s context in every sense of the word — a process that is described in the new, aptly titled monograph, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson: The Nature of Circumstance, published by Rizzoli." ~New York Times T Magazine Blog

A great book with wonderful images and drawings to accompany them.However, for the price I would expect I binding that doesn't feel like I am breaking it every time I open the book. But all in all a nice book and great reference for Bohlin's work.

I have to admit that as an architect I have always admired the work of BCJ. Peter Bohlin is one of the finest architects in the US, probably the reason he has won the AIA Gold Metal, and the firm the AIA Firm Award. This book is an excellent chronicle of their work. By highlighting about 20 projects in depth you gain an appreciation for the firms sensitivity to the issues that create a truly inspired piece of architecture. The photography is superb and the commentary provides an insightful look at the firm's design philosophy.
