"Michael Graves, one of the most influential architects in America today, has attained international prominence not only for his buildings but also for his writing, teaching, and lecturing. He has been Professor of Architecture at Princeton University since 1962, and has won numerous awards, including the National Honor Award of the American Institute of Architects in 1973 and 1979, and the 1980 Arnold W. Brunner Memorial Prize in Architecture given by the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. His work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art and at the Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York; his drawings have been acquired by many private collectors and museums. This book covers Michael Graves's work from his early residential projects to his most recent public projects, such as the San Juan Capistrano Public Library and his much-debated project for the Fargo-Moorhead Cultural Bridge, an arts center spanning the Red River between North Dakota and Minnesota. Also discussed is his competition-winning scheme for the Portland Public Office Building, scheduled for completion in 1982 and a source of widespread debate between conservative modernists and those who regard the design for this building as one of the most significant directions for architecture in the 80's. New York Times architecture critic Ada Louise Huxtable named the Portland project "the building of the year" in 1980 and Michael Graves "architect of the year." The book also examines many of Graves's murals and interior designs, including several completed projects for the Sunar furniture company, which earned Graves the "1980 designer of the year" award from Interiors magazine. Many of the more than 1200 illustrations are in color, and the projects are accompanied by descriptive texts, plans and conceptual sketches. The introduction by Michael Graves identifies the primary themes in his work over the past 17 years." -- Dust Jacket.
