A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In 1951, Rodney Friedman entered the School of Architecture at the University of California at Berkeley, where he studied under such noted architects as Erich Mendelsohn, William Wurster, Joseph Esherick, Paul Rudolph, and Charles Eames. Since the inception of Fisher Friedman Associates, the firm has been widely recognized as a national leader in residential design. Such recognition, comprising more than 250 awards for design and planning, and inclusion in numerous books and publications, attests to the firm's success in finding imaginative solutions to the problems of each individual project. During the 1960s and 1970s, the work of the firm was almost completely residential in scope, but since the early 80s it has included academic buildings, student housing, office developments, civic facilities, adaptive re-use, and large-scale urban planning.

Biographie de l'auteur :

In his forty-six years as the 'Friedman' of FFA, and the sole practicing architect of the founding group, Rodney Friedman, at age 75, continues to produce a vigorous and influential body of design work. Mr. Friedman has taught at University of California at Berkeley, Yale, Harvard, and MIT, among other institutions, and his work has been included in exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the SF MOMA, as well as the 1989 travelling exhibition of Soviet and American Architecture.
