This principle guides all of the firm's projects across sectors, from its designs promoting restorative healthcare, such as campuses for hospitals and wellness centers, to large-scale urban landscapes conceived to reconnect and revitalize communities, such as the acclaimed Myriad Botanical Gardens and the other initiatives completed as part of Oklahoma City's Project 180 public works program.This book highlights OJB's remarkable and meaningful work--and the philosophy that drives it--through projects of varied typologies arranged in a rhythm progressing from single works to longer multi-project narratives in which landscapes connect and build on each other over several years to create thoughtfully realized and impactful environments.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Breuer's Bohemia explores a vibrant period of midcentury modern design and culture as seen through the influential New England houses designed by Marcel Breuer for his circle of clients and friends.The iconic twentieth-century architect MarcelBreuer was a prolific designer of residentialarchitecture, which is often overshadowedby his early renown as a Bauhaus furnituremaker and his large-scale projects. Breuer sBohemia surveys the houses he designed in Connecticut and Massachusetts from the 1950s through the 70s, many of which were commissioned by a few culturally progressive clients chiefly Rufus and Leslie Stillman and Andrew and Jamie Gagarin who coalesced around him into a dynamic social circle. Included in this scene were prominent cultural figures such as Alexander Calder,Arthur Miller, Francine du Plessix Gray, Philip Roth, and William Styron, and more, marking a unique intersection of postwar architecture, art, and letters.The publication of Breuer s Bohemia coincides with the feature-length documentary of the same name by author and filmmaker James Crump, exploring Breuer s explosive residential practice on the East Coast. Through original research and interviews, the voices of principal characters from Breuer s circle and notable figures from the field of architecture help tell the story of Breuer s collaborations with his friends and clients, breathing new life into the history of the rich cultural atmosphere of which they all played a vital part.Heavily illustrated with vintage and contemporary photographs as well as rarely seen archival materials, Breuer s Bohemia is a unique glimpse of a twentieth-century milieu that produced an aesthetic, intellectual, and sometimes sybaritic community during a fertile period of American design and culture.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Master of the Midcentury: The Architecture of William F. Cody is the first, long-overdue book on this key Palm Springs architect, abundantly illustrated and detailed.Of the architects who made Palm Springs a crucible of midcentury American modernism, William F. Cody (1916-1978) was one of the most prolific, diverse, and iconic. Directing a practice ranging from residences to commercial centers and industrial complexes to master plans, Cody's designs are so recognizable that they provide visual shorthand for what is widely hailed as 'Desert Modern.' While his architecture was disciplined and technically innovative, Cody did not practice an austere modernism; he imbued in his projects a love for social spaces, rich with patterns, texture, color, and art.Though the majority of Cody's built work was concentrated in California and Arizona, he had commissions in other western states, Hawaii, Mexico, Honduras, and Cuba. From icons like the Del Marcos Hotel (1946), to inventive country clubs like the Eldorado (1957), to houses for celebrities (Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Walt Disney), Cody's projects defined the emerging West Coast lifestyle that combined luxury, leisure, and experimental design. Cody also pushed the boundaries of engineering, with beams and roof slabs so thin that his buildings seemed to defy gravity.Master of the Midcentury is the first monograph devoted to Cody, authored by the team that curated the acclaimed exhibition Fast Forward: The Architecture of William F. Cody at the Architecture and Design Museum in Los Angeles: his daughter, Cathy Cody, design historian Jo Lauria, and architectural historian Don Choi. Replete with photographs of extant and now-lost structures, as well as masterful color renderings and drawings for architectural commissions and plans for vanguard building systems, Master of the Midcentury is the authoritative resource on Cody.
