Description

"This book documents the complete architectural work of Richard Meier to date. Prominently featured among his built works are the famous neo-Purist houses done in the 1960s and early 1970s, and, much more current, his newly completed High Museum in Atlanta. Ample coverage is also given to important unbuilt projects, such as the administrative headquarters designed in 1982 for the Renault Corporation. Presented chronologically, the works are lavishly illustrated in both color and black and white, with full documentation in drawings, photographs, and sketches. An extensive and insightful introduction by Joseph Rykwert ranges over Meier's career, tracing the development of major themes in his work and placing them into historical context."--Front flap.
