This publication provides a unique record of the design and construction of one of the most significant building efforts of this century. The richness of the book lies in the variety of viewpoints that it presents: from the stark aerial photography of the construction to the lushly detailed photographic interpretations of the landscape and construction. The drawings of Meier, Despont, and Irwin illustrate the varied approaches and aesthetics. The essays of Rountree and Meier provide point of view of both client and architect while Huxtable’s article takes a broader view of the meaning of building in the twenty-first century.
