Average Rating:
 out of 5 stars
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - 28 architectural projects illustrated in color in 3D & by plans
28 architectural projects well illustrated by excellent computer generated 3D color views and 3D b&w linear drawings sometimes mixed with color graphics of flat surfaces or foliage. Also color photos of models, color schematics, b&w plans, and short text descriptions. Very well graphically designed and published. As rich, intense and sophisticated graphically as the first books from the Architectural Monographs No... series by Academy Editions / St Martin's Press, but fully in color, and superior to the survey of Pran's 1987-92 projects published under ISBN 031208689X (HC), 0312086903 (PB), 1854901680 (HC), and 1854901699 (PB).
FROM FRONT FLAP
Over the past ten years the Norwegian/American architect Peter Pran has won fifteen architecture design competi tions, both national and international, twelve New York and three National AlA Design Awards, and three Progressive Architecture National Design Awards and has designed buildings in the USA, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and South America. He is Design Principal at NBBJ, one of the largest international architecture firms, which is based in the USA with offices in Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Columbus, New York and Tokyo. Prior to joining NBBJ he was for ten years Design Principal in charge of the Ellerbe Becket New York Office. He worked for and with Mies van der Rohe on the New National Gallery, Berlin, the Chicago Federal Center and the Toronto Dominion Center. He has also taught for twenty years as professor of architecture in the USA, Japan, Italy and Denmark and is currently Distin guished Rose Morgan Visiting Professor of Architecture at the University of Kansas.
Peter Pran won the international competition for the New York Police Academy.Together with Dan Meis and NBBJ Los Angeles he recently won the important international compe tition for the Seoul Dome 21, comprising the 2002 World Championship Football Stadium and Baseball Stadium plus an entertainment centre with theatres, exhibition halls and retail space. In summer 1998, Peter Pran with NBBJ won the international architecture competition for the Telenor Head quarters at Fornebu in Oslo, Norway, which will be built by 2001; it will be the largest project built in Scandinavia. Pran's innovative and dynamic designs are characterized by their site-specific content and a poetic feeling of movement and fluency and their inherent sense of freedom.The young, creative designers Jonathan Ward, Timothy Johnson and Paul Davis have collaborated closely with him on many of his major projects for the past eight years. They make full use of state-of-the-art computer technology and have to gether developed design approaches and a design philoso phy based on conviction, integrity, creativity and authenticity. With an introduction by Christian Norberg-Schulz, essays by Kenneth Frampton, Fumihiko Maki, Juhani Pallasmaa, and a statement by Daniel Libeskind, this volume serves as the perfect introduction to the philosophy and design meth ods of this lead irig international architect.
