Summary:
For more than twenty years, David Piscuskas and Juergen Riehm, principals of 1100 Architect, have honed a distinctive architecture informed by proportion, materiality, light, and detail. The firm's designs do not adhere to any specific stylistic codes but do share an understated architectural signature: an elegance of proportion, an innovative yet direct use of materials, a meticulous execution. A sequel to "1100 Architect" (1997), this new monograph includes more than twenty recent buildings and projects, notably Little Red School House and Elisabeth Irwin High School and the Irish Hunger Memorial, both in New York City, and the Naha City Gallery and Apartment House, in Japan. The firm’s work encompasses cultural, institutional, residential, and commercial work. In addition to a perceptive essay by a long-time observer of the firm’s work, the partners discuss five design elements essential to their practice: detail, materiality, effortlessness, permeability, and recognition.

Les pieds bien ancrés dans la ville souterraine de Montréal, il abrite entre ses parois de verre des milliers de trésors autrefois éparpillés, entreposés, difficilement accessibles, dorénavant à portée de la main de tous les Québécois. La Grande Bibliothèque est venue combler un besoin criant : tous les jours, depuis son ouverture le 30 avril 2005, des milliers de gens font tourner ses portes. Ils y trouvent quatre millions de documents, du livre ancien à la nouveauté, des disques, des films, des journaux, des revues de partout dans le monde, des ressources pour les chercheurs comme pour le grand public. Certains en ressortent avec leurs trouvailles - chaque semaine, la Bibliothèque prête des dizaines de milliers de documents -, d'autres s'installent dans ses espaces accueillants pour lire, étudier, explorer les richesses des collections rassemblées ici. Conçu de A à Z pour faciliter la découverte de ces collections, l'édifice offre sur ses six niveaux des ambiances très différentes, de l'Espace Jeunes, royaume des petits, au dynamisme du dernier étage en passant par de nombreux endroits de calme, dont l'espace réservé à la Collection nationale, organisé autour d'une salle de lecture inspirée des bibliothèques traditionnelles. Mais cette Grande Bibliothèque s'avance résolument dans le XXIe siècle. Son enveloppe transparente est plus qu'un symbole : on y est à la fois dehors et dedans, dans la réflexion et dans l'action, et l'édifice est une ruche d'où partent des liens infinis avec le Québec en entier : grâce à une technologie de pointe, l'institution offre ses collections, ses services et son expertise à tous, peu importe où ils se trouvent.
