Sinopsis

Somewhere, Something, Someone, the second monograph on Boston-based architecture firm Leers Weinzapfel Associates since its formation in 1982, captures the essence of their unique practice since 2011. It addresses the power of place, making, and human need in architecture and the integral link between them. In one sense, this book assumes the form of a traditional architectural monograph, highlighting a number of projects with interludes by guest contributors. In another sense, it adopts the attitude of a self-portrait: a more personal narrative that explores LWA’s collaborative practice as an unfinished continuum.

Leers Weinzapfel Associates present 15 of their recent architectural projects through photography, diagrams, drawings, and supportive texts and annotations. Somewhere, Something, Someone functions both as the book’s title and organising principle. Essays contributed by fellow architects Jeanne Gang, Thom Mayne, and Adele Santos, and conversations between members of the firm’s team round off this volume.
