Sinopsis

From its beginning as a boutique Chicago firm, Ross Barney Architects has grown to a highly respected name in US architecture. Responsible for some of the United States' most sensitive buildings, including the new Oklahoma City Federal Building, it has been the creative force behind innovative designs for a US post office, a US port of entry, several award-winning public schools, university science buildings, and various much-loved libraries.
The firm's approach to architecture places great importance on the client, and this illustrated book shows how such close collaboration can result in extraordinary creativity and outstanding designs. A valuable reference for anyone interested in the approach to and practice of architecture, as well as those seeking inspiration for projects - be they public or private, academic or government - Ross Barney Architects Process + Projects offers not only an insightful look into one of the United States' most impressive architectural firms but also the way buildings evolve from an initial concept to a beautifully executed design.

Reseña del editor

Architect Carol Ross Barney founded her own firm in 1981. Throughout the past 25 years of Ross Barney Jankowski and now Ross Barney Architects, the office has grown to a 35-person firm that places special emphasis on the process of design. The team involved in that process includes not only the architects and consultants, but very importantly, the clients. Her approach, rather unique among architectural offices, relies on input, analysis, and evaluation from many fronts, the development of alternatives, and a collaborative effort that assures there is no one author, but rather guarantees a final work more than the sum of the parts. This publication examines the evolution of Ross Barney Architects, and some of its most significant works, from the US Post Office in Glendale Heights, Illinois to the new Oklahoma City Federal Building, along with a discussion of the rigorous process that each commission goes through from initial ideas to final design.
