Summary:

"With studios in both Norway and California, Mork-Ulnes Architects strive to understand the cultural, climatic, and phenomenological qualities of the places where they work. Both locations share a common inclination towards practical architecture that authentically relates to its site. Architects, builders, artisans, and farmers in Norway and California have developed functional building techniques and forms that stand the test of time, with some Norwegian wooden structures lasting for centuries. Mork-Ulnes Architects situates their projects within these traceable historical lineages and forms of cultural knowledge. By doing so, the studio explores how a building can become inherently linked to its environment through pragmatic architecture that relates to its surrounding in its form, scale, material, and craftsmanship."--Back of book.
