This review is from: Kaplan McLaughlin Diaz Placemaking: Innovation and Individuality (Hardcover)
Some of the best open-space design that I've seen. I thought that the book promotes architecture with sensitivity to its surrounding environment. The photos are engaging, the projects are interesting with a diversity that I have not seen with other architectural practices. As a student of architecture, I feel that this firm really goes out of their way to promote community. Great !
