Stanley Saitowitz

Sze Tsung Leong, 1996

Description

This small monograph on the San Francisco architect Stanley Saitowitz is designed as a cinematic passage through which the reader is invited to drift from project to project—a schema inspired by Saitowitz’s concern with a geometry of flows that produces a continuity between architecture and its surroundings, whether urban or natural. Saitowitz’s seamless passages between outside and inside, artificial and organic, structured and amorphous, are translated into the transformation throughout the course of the book of one project to the next—not only emphasizing the continuity and the network of relationships in the architect’s body of work, but also offering a reinterpretation of the traditional format of the architectural monograph.
