Description

  • Morphosis is pleased to announce the publication of MORPHOSIS: Buildings & Projects 1999-2008, the latest monograph in the series from Rizzoli which has documented the growth and progression of the firm since 1989. In his opening essay titled “Some Scattered Thoughts Instead of a Foreword,” Thom Mayne outlines “… specific areas of interest that inform the works presented in this volume: the use of materials and technology; an expansive view of landscape as a parallel to that found in biological/ecological processes; and a search for strategies to integrate architecture into the life of the city.”

    Sixteen of our most recent projects are included in the 484 page book designed by Lorraine Wild/Green Dragon Office. Each project is accompanied by a short essay that reflects upon the thematic subject matter of each project. Complementing the text are 500 illustrations.
