Michael Graves: Buildings and Projects 1990-1994

Michael Graves’s career has been one of the most remarkably creative and successful of any American architect practicing today. His extensive oeuvre includes such renowned projects as the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel and the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel in Florida, the San Juan Capistrano Library in California, and the precedent-setting Portland Building in Oregon, as well as designs for his highly popular lines of furniture, home furnishings, and artifacts. Graves’s signature aesthetic– elemental shapes, references to historical forms, and warm colors that often reflect Italian and classical influences– is recognized worldwide. 
Presented in this monograph are seventy-one of Graves’s built and unbuilt projects of the past five years, generously illustrated with photographs, plans, and Graves’s evocative colored sketches. Featured projects in the United States include the Denver Central Library in Colorado; the Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University in Atlanta, with its extraordinary galleries for ancient art; and several private residences, including Graves’s own Italianate villa in Princeton, New Jersey. Also included are numerous international commissions, among them De Resident, the Ministry of Culture office building in The Hague; Hotel New York at Euro Disneyland Park Paris; the Hyatt Regency Hotel and Office Building in Fukuoka, Japan; sixteen additional projects in Japan; and others in Germany, the Netherlands, Wales, China, and Israel.

MVRDV: Works and Projects 1991-2006 Paperback – October 24, 2006

The work of MVRDV can be considered an emblematic turning point in Dutch architecture. Early projects such as the Light Urbanism study for the Municipality of Rotterdam, the headquarters for Public Broadcasting Company VPRO and housing for elderly Wozoco’s in Amsterdam brought MVRDV to the attention of a wide field of clients and gave them international acclaim. What stands out as the characteristic feature of MVRDV is an adherence to reality and the need to strip the eye of preconceived ideas. The operational methodology that stems from this is centered around the application of the “technique” of the datascape, based on extensive and generalized research that tends to assemble an enormous quantity of information so as to proceed to the project phase in a rational, objective manner. The book examines the distinctive features of MVRDV’s work and shows the full range of their achievements.
