Having graduated from Cornell University, Richard Meier established his own architectural firm in New York City in 1963, around a group known as the "Five Architects" of New York. This book includes 70 works and projects, chronologically ordered, from his first private houses around New York, to the most recent cultural centres, museums, corporate buildings and city planning for different cities in Europe, Asia and USA. This book, abundantly illustrated and documented, offers a chronological survey, from the first houses in the Hamptons to the most recent buildings including the Getty Center in Los Angeles and the MACBA in Barcelona. In 1984, Richard Meier was awarded the Pritzker Prize, the most coveted architectural award.

70 projects, 264 black & white illustrations, and concise,

This review is from: Richard Meier (Obras y Proyectos / Works and Projects) (Paperback)
ISBN: 8425216931 ONLY is an exclusively black & white, concise and copiously illustrated paperback survey of 70 major works on 224 pages published in 1997 by Gustavo Gili (GG) in the Works and Projects series in English and Spanish side by side, and entirely different than the color album-like "Richard Meier: Recent Works" from Universe's architecture series. A short introductory part on several pages is followed by the main review part presenting each shortly described project in a combination of excellent B&W photos, plans, sections, elevations, hard line presentation drawings, models, sketches, etc. The book is ended with a biography, writings, list of works on several pages. Most of 264 only B&W illustrations are technical, but all (incl. B&W photos) are of a good quality, well balanced, crisp and legible. Like all from the Works and Projects series, it is solid among architectural monographs, but slightly smaller than the same book in German in the Studio Paperback series published by Birkhäuser Verlag under ISBN-10: 3764353503 (Basel)/08176* (Boston) or Artemis Verlag under ISBN-10: 37608* (Zürich)/18740* (London).
