Introduction by Joan Ockman. Includes bibliography, list of worldwide awards, and an index. "As one of the largest and most prestigious architectural firms in the world, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) has for half a century set the standard of American corporate design practice. In the decades after World War II, SOM's name was synonymous with some of the most illustrious examples of International Style architecture. In more recent years, as modernist orthodoxy has been revised, the firm has continued to occupy the forefront of a field that has become both more aesthetically diverse and more geographically fluid, presiding over a transition from International Style to global practice. SOM's projects today range the globe from Manhattan to Moscow, Chicago to Shanghai, London, and Berlin to Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and Ho Chi Minh City. From high-tech structures to finely detailed interiors, from superscale office towers to urban place-making, SOM's work traverses an extremely wide range of architectural practices, demonstrating the firm's commitment to the broadest possible provision of design services. While those aspects of its work that most reflect the new impact of globalization and post-industrialism have been emphasized here, the second section of this catalogue illustrates SOM's distinguished handling of museums, religious edifices, courthouses, transitional housing, and other institutional building types. These further reveal its success in providing exceptional levels of public amenities. A building by SOM today is above all a product of a precise "fit" between client, architect, and context. The decision as to whether it is made of granite and marble or glass and steel is an outcome of this relationship, not a matter of ideology. Diversity derives from conscious empiricism rather than willful eclecticism. In this sense, while SOM's variegated recent work departs from post-World War II orthodoxy, it redefines modern architecture's tradition of 'problem-solving.' What continues to distinguish a SOM building is its masterly ability to translate contemporary conditions of practice into an exacting and sophisticated art of building." ? from book?s introduction Very Good / Fine.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Illustrated. Minor shelf wear; light rubbing and scuffing to edges of jacket. Else a bright, clean copy. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, founded in 1936, is one of the largest and most influential architecture firms in the world. SOM has long been known for innovation, experimentation, design excellence, and technical mastery, for an abiding interest in the contributions that buildings can make to the life of cities, and for a collaborative approach that extends to all aspects of the design and construction processes. This volume presents work from the late 1990s and 2000s. In an era of true globalization in design and commerce, SOM has come to occupy a unique place in American and international architecture. Recognized for the exceptional quality of its architectural design and urban planning, the firm is also renowned for its clients, an eminent group of businesses and institutions. In the years 1997-2008, the period represented in this monograph, SOM's steadfast dedication to a modern expression has produced an important series of works at all scales, in a variety of typologies, in countries around the world. From the diminutive Skyscraper Museum in New York City to the radiant Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland, California, to the master plan and two buildings for the University of California Merced, the newest U.C. campus, the works shown here illustrate the remarkable range of SOM's current practice. Perhaps no work exemplifies the firm's creative, multifaceted approach as much as 7 World Trade Center, the first structure built at the World Trade Center after September 11, 2001. On a site claimed by commerce but also subject to the demands of memory, SOM created an elegant stainless-steel and glass tower that restores the New York City street grid and begins the process of remaking this part of the city. A suggestive combination of artistic and structural expertise, dedication to finding sustainable design solutions, collaborations with preeminent artists and designers, and commitment to urbanism characterize not only 7 World Trade Center but SOM's recent body of work. Among the projects shown is the massive U.S. Census Bureau Headquarters in Suitland, Maryland, the first federal office building to receive a LEED rating. The U.S. Embassy in Beijing elegantly responds to the local culture and site. An abundance of airport projects-in New York, San Francisco, Boston, Israel, and Singapore-shows SOM's mastery of this complex project type. The firm's commitment to urbanism and its ability to work at a large scale on sites of great visibility are evident in the designs for the Time Warner Center in New York and Tokyo Midtown, as well as in a series of grand master plans: Chongming Island in Shanghai, the redevelopment of the waterfront in Alexandria, Egypt, and Treasure Island in the San Francisco Bay. At the same time, the firm often works at a fine scale, as in the Burr Street School in Connecticut, the retail prototype for Charles Schwab, and the Condé Nast Cafeteria in New York. Kenneth Frampton brings a historian's perspective to SOM's recent work, tracing its evolution back to the Miesian modernism dominant at the time of the firm's founding and forward to the cutting-edge technical advances to which the firm has devoted itself. Large-span structures, high-rise towers, low-rise topographic forms, compositions that incorporate media, and constructivist essays: all contribute to the development of contemporary architecture and contemporary urbanism alike. Well into its eighth decade of practice, SOM continues on a course of twenty-first century modernism, a modernism that is diverse and inclusive, contextual, urbane, and populist.…
