Summary:

"This book is the first to explore Deborah Berke's remarkable career as an architect, designer, teacher, and writer. As examined in a series of engaging essays, Berke's strong and evolving aesthetic blends tectonic coherence, a keen sensitivity to the intrinsic qualities of materials, and meticulous attention to detail. While all of her work possesses these distinctive attributes, each project is subtly rooted in its context and ennobles the uses specific to that space." "Through newly commissioned photographs, twenty-one of Berke's thought-provoking projects appear here. Also featured are Berke's reflections on her growing interest in the "here and now"--An approach to architecture that counteracts the banal placelessness of much of our environment and results in buildings that are intensely bound to and grounded in their sites."--Jacket.
