KEVIN ROCHE: Architecture as Environment by Pelkonen, Eeva-Liisa - 2011

New Haven: Yale University Press, 2011. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Pritzker Prize-winner Kevin Roche is one of the most critically acclaimed architects of the postwar era, distinguished for the pioneering urban structures he designed in the 1960s and 1970s, including the Oakland Museum of California and the Ford Foundation Headquarters in New York. In a career that has spanned more than half a century, Roche has pioneered new territories in design methodology, building technology, and environmentalism ... Drawing on previously inaccessible archival materials and unpublished interviews to present the full range of Roche's career and to place his innovative work within the history of modern architecture, this book shows why Roche's insistence that architecture is a part of a larger context, both man-made and natural, is more timely than ever." Quarto. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket - as new, still sealed in the original shrink wrap.
