Fougeron Architecture: Opposition/Composition Paperback – August 24, 2011

Fougeron Architecture: Opposition/Composition with a foreword by Hitoshi Abe presents the breadth of work accomplished by Anne Fougeron's renowned San Francisco firm. Her bold modernist designs span a wide range of scale and budget--from single-family residences to affordable multifamily housing; from commercial and civic projects to health care facilities. In minimalist, light-filled, sculptural buildings, she puts invention to the service of community, not architectural theory.
 
Fougeron works at the intersection of conflicting forces: old and new; public and private; rough and refined; urban and natural beauty. This tension animates her architecture, inspiring a humane modernism that investigates cultural oppositions. Her aim is not facile harmony of space and structure. She directly engages design with complex social and political questions of the 21st century to fill gaps, heal inequities, and enhance modern life.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

I'm obsessed with architecture. Like most obsessions, mine is driven by passion: the love and awe I've always felt for great buildings, old and new and anywhere in between. I'm also driven by the pleasure I have in designing them, in being immersed in the creative process and emerging in the end with a work that serves the greater good.
 

From the Inside Flap

San Fransisco-based architect Anne Fougeron, principal of award-winning Fougeron Architecture, embraces architectural opportunities found in opposition, creating buildings that redefine program, reinvent historical building types, and reinvigorate civic centers. Each project is a careful consideration of context, light, and structure.

Believing that thoughtful architecture should be accessible to all, the firm takes on fewer projects in order to develop meaningful relationships with clients and ensure Fougeron's personal involvement in every project rom start to finish. She not only designs for residential and commercial clients but is unwavering in her commitment to serving often-overlooked nonprofit organizations. She continues to work with organizations such as Planned Parenthood, Mercy Housing, and the San Francisco Public Library.

Fougeron Architecture: Opposition/ Composition is the first monograph on this heralded firm. Introduced by Hitoshi Abe, the book features fourteen projects that display the breadth of their work.

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2011
This elegant and beautifully photgraphed monograph focuses on the work of Fougeron Architecture, an innovative Bay area architecture firm, led by Anne Fougeron. The firm's fresh, elegant buildings are beautifully designed and incredibly well crafted. Princeton Architectural Press is the finest architectural publisher in the world. The architecture and the book itself are consistent with their high standards. I highly recommend this beautiful book.
