Lightness in glass and white. On the 50th anniversary of Richard Meierrsquo;s firm, this is a complete retrospective. From his early days as one of the ldquo;New York Five,rdquo; Richard Meier has been a central figure in contemporary architecture; this updated 2013 trade edition of the XL version is published in the occasion of the firmrsquo;s 50th anniversary. With the Getty Center and more recent buildings such as the Jubilee Church in Rome, Meier has established a reputation for expanded the horizons of contemporary American architecture while maintaining his rigorously rational approach to design and detailing. Known for carefully conceived grid plans and frequent use of white, Meier is a master of light, space, and volume, able to adapt his style to very different circumstances and locations. The entire span of Meierrsquo;s career, newly updated for this edition, is included in this exceptional volume, created in close collaboration with the architect, the author, and the eminent graphic designer Massimo Vignelli.
