This review is from: James Carpenter: Environmental Refractions (Hardcover)
There's an inherently classical discipline to the experiments and exploration that James Carpenter's work seems to embody. What I find fascinating is the metrical expansion of ideas and ideals -- the inventions are meditated and gradual, the discoveries are thoughtfully implemented. There's always the implication that wild experiment lead to merely wild results, with a lessened sense of application. This book is a grand reference to the intellectual character of his work, that has been surely transformative in the marveled evolution of his work.
This book is, perhaps solely, the best way to envision the history and intelligence of Carpenter's work, and the support of his team in the manifestation of consistently extraordinary renderings of solutions for his clients.
