Beginning with his ascent in the late 1960s, the work of Richard Meier has been identified with a careful but decisive reflection on modernity, its origins, and the possibility of being a continuing source of innovation.
Collected here for the first time in paperback are the large-scale projects Meier developed during the last decade - mature works that coincide with his growing renown as one of the world's foremost architects. His reflections on being heir to an abstract modernist ethic meld together with his concepts of the city and the contemporary landscape in diverse projects such as the Getty Center in Los Angeles, museums for Atlanta and Barcelona, and residential highrises in New York.
