Tectonics of Place II: The Architecture of Johnson Fain chronicles the architectural and interior design work of a preeminent international design practice based in Southern California. The firm, well-known for landmark projects throughout the United States and abroad, eschews any singular approach or style.

Addressing issues of program, client, physical context, and sustainability, Johnson Fain crafts design solutions that are strikingly modern and unique. Tall buildings both elaborate their particular programs, whether residential or work-related, while becoming icons on the urban skyline. Single family dwellings, wineries and cultural facilities set in more rural landscapes interact instinctively with nature. Museums, clubhouses, and educational campuses create a sense of cohesion and shared purpose through the design of both the buildings and the open spaces that unite them. Forward-looking science and technology centres express state-of-the-art systems while reinforcing collegiality and reflection, which lies at the heart of research. Beyond the brief, the architecture of Johnson Fain is human-centred, forward-looking and interactive.
