After Metropolis: The Architecture and Design of Powell Tuck Associates - Tapa blanda

After Metropolis features a selection of Powell Tuck Associates´ key

projects, from their first ground breaking work--the Metropolis

Recording Studios in London, which they won in 1989--to their most

recent alterations and new buildings, including Bloomberg, Riverside

One, Deepwater and Stamford Brook.

Through the evaluation of these projects, the book will demonstrate

the practice´s approach to architecture and design, setting out their

guiding principals, influences and attitudes, therefore emphasising

their engagement with existing buildings, att ention to the

interconnection of spaces and to circulation, to refined material,

light and colour palettes, as well as their contemporary approach to

housing and working environments.

Written by julian Powell Tuck, founder of the practice, the book

also features contributions from the writer and critic Fred Scott, the

architect David Connor and the investor/businessman Carey Taylor

who will offer their comment on the work of Powell Tuck Associates

respectively from the point of view of the academic, the colleague

and the client.
