Abstract

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.

Abstract

Rick Joy's reputation as one of the country's most gifted designers, whose mining of materials and site create transcendent, even poetic buildings, was established in his first book, Desert Works. This follow-up, Studio Joy Works, marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of his firm's founding and continues the careful documentation of the growing body of his important work, including houses in Vermont and California, his first public project, a train station in Princeton, New Jersey, and residences abroad in Mexico and Turks and Caicos. The projects in this book are further contextualized with an essay by Joy and spectacular photographs.
