Summary:

"From its beginning as a boutique Chicago firm, Ross Barney Architects has grown to a highly respected name in US architecture. Responsible for some of the United States' most sensitive buildings, including the new Oklahoma City Federal Building, it has been the creative force behind innovative designs for a US post office, a US port of entry, several award-winning public schools, university science buildings, and various much-loved libraries." "The firm's approach to architecture places great importance on the client, and this illustrated book shows how such close collaboration can result in extraordinary creativity and outstanding designs. A valuable reference for anyone interested in the approach to and practice of architecture, as well as those seeking inspiration for projects - be they public or private, academic or government - Ross Barney Architects Process + Projects offers not only an insightful look into one of the United States' most impressive architectural firms but also the way buildings evolve from an initial concept to a beautifully executed design."--Jacket.
