Synopsis

Bart Prince, whose buildings stand from Ohio to Hawaii, is internationally recognized for embodying the American tradition of individualism in architecture originating with Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright and Bruce Goff. The study of Prince and his architecture as an open-ended process if cultural discovery and experimentation shifts attention from theoretical abstractions like organicism to what Prince believes to be architecture's proper subject: the experience of place produced when an architect responds to the practical and psychological realities of the client, programme and budget in the context of a particular site.

Présentation de l'éditeur

With a look at new buildings by Bart Prince, this book examines the work of a uniquely American contemporary architect. Surveying the seminal work of Bart Prince and featuring new buildings created since 1999, this updated edition examines the work of Prince, not only as the contemporary manifestation of the tradition of individualism in American architecture but also as a style continually committed to existing in dialogue with the space around it.
