The architecture of Gunnar Birkerts / text by Kay Kaiser.

Washington, D.C. : American Institute of Architects Press, ©1989.

214 pages : chiefly illustrations (some color) ; 26 cm

Gunnar Birkerts has designed some of America's most innovative and distinctive architecture. A member of the Modern Movement's postwar generation, he has shown that modernism can accommodate lyrical, emotional, dynamic, and regional influences within its abstract construct. His design concepts, which grow from the individual character of site and client, defy stylistic categorization. Over his career he has won more than fifty major awards. The Architecture of Gunnar Birkerts not only presents the architects work, but also explores the influences of his background, design methodology, and philosophy on his buildings. -- from book flap.
