A journey through the world of one of the most daring US architects
With photographs by Iwan Baan
Co-published by Harvard University Graduate School of Design.

Combining the talents of an architect, artist, and developer, John Portman was able to embark on a series of large-scale building projects―megastructures―that radically redefined the relationship of architecture to the city and its citizens. Portman's own voice and ideas complement the contributions of others, including new photographs by Iwan Baan, to present a more complex and nuanced reading of both the architect and his architecture. Finally, the repertoire of Portman's buildings is analyzed in meticulous detail and used by a group of students from the Harvard Graduate School of Design as a catalyst for a host of divergent and new architectural speculations.

Moshen Mostafavi is Dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Design and Alexander and Victoria Wiley Professor of Design.

I just received this book, and it's incredible. The book itself is beautifully designed, but the content of the book is where it really shines. The book is comprehensive and critical and offers a true academic look at the work of this architect.
