Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, 1977 von Cesar Pelli gegründet, ist ein weltweit tätiges Architekturbüro. Berühmt geworden ist es durch elegante und technisch anspruchsvolle Hochhauslösungen. Diese zeichnen sich zumeist durch glatte, straffe Hüllen ohne Profile aus - die Gliederung und visuelle Akzentuierung erfolgt dann durch sanfte Abtreppung oder Variation in der Farbigkeit oder der Materialität der Verglasung. Eine ungewöhnliche Bürostruktur von Pelli Clarke Pelli grundiert die Arbeit: ein quasi handwerkliches Verständnis vom architektonischen Entwurf und eine enge, personalisierte Beziehung zum Bauherrn zeichnet sie aus. Die Suche nach der richtigen Form wird durch eine eigene Modellbauwerkstatt unterstützt. Viele Projekte erfüllen aufgrund ihrer Größe auch städtebauliche Aufgaben: Sie schaffen urbane Räume oder fungieren als ikonenhafte Zeichen im Stadtbild. Die Publikation dokumentiert eine Auswahl von Arbeiten des Büros aus den letzten acht Jahren. Zu den dargestellten Projekten gehören der Bloomberg Tower in New York, Minneapolis Central Library, Transbay Transit Center in San Francisco, das National Museum of Art in Osaka der Xiao Bai Lo Tower in Tianjin oder der Torre Cajasol in Sevilla. Pelli Clarke Pelli, founded in 1977 by Cesar Pelli, is an architectural office of worldwide renown. They are known in particular for their elegant and technically advanced tower designs. These are usually characterized by taut, seamless envelopes without exposed profiles - their visual structure is achieved by subtly staggered forms or variations in the color or materiality of the façade glazing. The unusual offi ce structure of Pelli Clarke Pelli informs the work: an almost craft-like perception of architectural design and a close personal relation with the client are typical for their approach. A model-making workshop within the offi ce helps to fi nd the appropriate form. Many projects also fulfi l urbanistic roles: They create urban spaces or act as iconic landmarks within the city fabric. The publication encompasses a selection of works from the past eight years. Amongst the documented projects are Bloomberg Tower in New York, Minneapolis Central Library, Transbay Transit Center in San Francisco, National Museum of Art in Osaka, Xiao Bai Lo Tower in Tianjin and Torre Cajasol in Sevilla.

Today, more than ever, multi-family housing is recognised as vital to modern, urban communities. This type of housing requires immense dexterity from an architectural perspective, because while promoting a sense of community living, a sense of aesthetics must also prevail. Michael J. Crosbie has selected more than 45 remarkable examples of multi-family housing for this handsome book. Accompanied by descriptive text and vivid colour photography, these projects speak volumes for the fact that multi-family housing need not be monotonous, repetitive structures, but can indeed be visually and aesthetically pleasing, fostering a delightful sense of community. The book complements Crosbie's earlier book on multi-family living, as well as many other titles also published by IMAGES, including Houses of God and Architecture for the Gods, Architecture for Justice, and Architecture for the Books. His reputation as an author architect and educator is unparalleled in the USA and Europe.
