Description
Book SynopsisThis lavishly illustrated monograph features the architecture and design work of renowned firm TSK, a multi-award-winning firm that focuses on regionally sensitive modernism and sustainable design. Over the course of more than 60 years, the firm continues to aim to minimise the consumption of non-renewable resources, contribute positively to the environment, and design architecture that connects the inhabitant to the world around them. The firm looks to help reveal the beauty of the surrounding landscape, capture seasonal changes, and engage the climate to create architecture that is simple and yet greater than the sum of its parts. This book is filled with rich, full-colour photographs, detailed plans and diagrams, and incisive commentary that describes in great depth the concepts behind the firm's extensive collection of works. TSK is consistently recognised as one of the top design firms in the United States.
