Synopsis "Individual to Collective: Duda/Paine Architects"
At its core, architectural design requires an unwavering commitment to the power of ideas. Each project profiled within Individual to Collective's five thematic chapters represents the value of ideas in design for the individual and collective experience of architecture and landscape. Through projects that span a diverse range of scale, type and location, the volume elaborates on the role architecture and spatial design play in helping organizations, institutions and communities transform how they live, work, learn and play. With a Foreword by internationally renowned architect and educator Cesar Pelli, FAIA, the book's diagrams and stunning photographs illustrate how a design process based on ideas can transcend issues of typology, style, scope and location.The work of authors Turan Duda and partner Jeffrey Paine of Duda/Paine Architects includes soaring, international towers; contemporary campus master plans; and conceptual, futuristic cities. The recurring themes of their design philosophy and practice are illustrated in Individual to Collective: Shaping the Experience, Creating Context, Skyline and Streetscape, the Public Room and Transformation.
