Established over two decades ago in Portland, Oregon, Skylab is a band of makers--architects, designers, brand builders, and entrepreneurs--working together across a wide range of projects that revitalize communities, give rise to cultural epicenters, and create competitive advantage. Led by a team of five uniquely talented principals, the studio brings mastery across sectors including workplace, multifamily, residential, master planning, hospitality, civic/cultural, sport, resorts, retail, branding, and interior design. With work across the United States, the firm is known for projects that explore narrative storytelling, innovative approaches to design and construction, and the regenerative continuity between the built environment and nature. skylabarchitecture.com
A major overview of Skylab’s built works, from show-stopping residences to high-profile cultural projects, presented via a covetable book design that takes its inspiration from an album or LP.
Skylab is the first major monograph of the eponymous architecture and design studio based in Portland, Oregon, and founded by Jeff Kovel in 1999. Known for a range of spectacular residences designed for some of the creative city’s leading lights, as well as music venues and high-profile projects for Nike, Skylab’s unique approach has made it one of the most innovative studios in the Pacific Northwest. In this first monograph, presenting over two decades of work, the story of Skylab is told by a number of influential people through reflective essays, interviews, conversations and anecdotes.
The book is a covetable object in itself, based on the concept of an album or LP, with inside front- and back-cover gatefolds and nine foldout posters inside the book.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. A major overview of Skylab's built works, from show-stopping residences to high-profile cultural projects, presented via a covetable book design that takes its inspiration from an album or LP. Skylab: The Nature of Buildings is the first monograph of the Portland, Oregon-based architecture and design studio. Founded by Jeff Kovel in 1999, Skylab has emerged as a leading creative force in the Pacific Northwest and North America. At the vanguard of innovative and sustainable design, the practice is known for a range of spectacular residences designed for leading creatives, as well as distinctive music venues, resorts, and other high-profile projects, including the N M Bodecker Foundation, Nike's Serena Williams Building, and the Columbia Building. Presenting more than two decades of work, the story of Skylab is told by several influential contributors through reflective essays, interviews, conversations and anecdotes, as well as extensive project photography and illustrations that detail the firm's design process. A uniquely crafted object, the book's design is based on the concept of a double vinyl album, with four 'sides' (A, B, C, D), ten projects 'tracks', inside front- and back-cover gatefolds, and nine project 'interlude' foldout posters in the book. 'Our work balances on three themes: narrative, strategy, and regeneration', Kovel writes in the book's Preface. 'Narrative is the "what" - a design process based on telling compelling stories. Strategy is the "how" - innovating best practices through construction and market intelligence. Regeneration is the "why" - our north star and the legacy of our work, defined by designing with nature as a partner, seeking to rebalance the relationship with land, time and people. This was the bedrock meaning behind our practice when we started in 1999, and it continues to this day.' From highly crafted residences to impactful cultural projects, this uniquely designed book--conceived as a double vinyl album--offers a detailed look at Skylab's innovative work. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780500025406
