Riassunto

Moore Ruble Yudell Architects & Planners have long been at the forefront of aesthetic, sustainable and humane architectural design across the globe. The firm's latest publication, The Future of Place, not only encapsulates their most recent projects, but also serves as a resource for current and future approaches to modern architectural problems.

One chapter in the book focuses on campus projects, exploring how campus is evolving to fit contemporary students' needs, and the requirements of urban contexts. Another showcases private residential projects, showing how they respond uniquely to the surrounding context, environment and inhabitants' needs.

Another chapter addresses civic structures from embassies to parking structures, and how an effective design integrates the buildings' highly specialised programming. Lastly, housing and masterplanning are showcased to depict humane and effective iterations of high density programs.
