Since the founding of Moore Ruble Yudell with Charles Moore in 1977, principals John Ruble and Buzz Yudell have built a varied body of work ranging from private residences to multi-million-dollar institutional, civic and mixed-use developments. The initial goal of Moore Ruble Yudell was to have an intensive collaboration among the principals, and as the firm has grown, this idea has remained its highest priority, with the collaborative spirit extending to include project staff and clients. The principals pioneered the use of client and community workshops in the design process. Their work on a wide range of building types has given them extensive experience working with complex client groups as well as regulatory and governmental agencies.

Founded in 1984 by Ronald Altoon and James Porter, Altoon + Porter has sustained its growth through all economic cycles with a clear adherence to its core values. Commitment to respond to context, to create community, and to serve its clients' investment or institutional goals has resulted in a portfolio of projects in 24 countries valued at more than $3.5 billion. Projects vary widely, and include mixed-use, retail, office, institutional, and transit-related. Altoon + Porter's work is informed by a design philosophy that permeates a respect for context and culture, for an understanding and application of the traditional structural order. The firm actively seeks to expand its role beyond the domain of practice into the civic, academic and cultural realms; such outreach is deeply ingrained in its culture. This monograph presents Altoon + Porter's most important works, in full colour photographs, drawings and informative text.

STUDIOS Architecture has many years of experience in making communities for corporations. In the early years, much of STUDIOS' work was concerned with the design of corporate campuses. The firm's aim was to humanise the workplace and provide a face to these 'little villages' it designed. STUDIOS' architectural language is now more varied to fit a diverse practice where the boundaries between work, culture, technology and society have been blurred; yet is grounded in a sense of humanity. Featured projects in this publication includea selection of the firm's corporate works as well as civic and institutional buildings.

One of the world's truly international designers, Michael Graves shares his inspirations and design philosophy in this superb addition to the exclusive IMAGES Millennium Series. Graves, who holds the chair of architecture at Princeton University, is one of the world's most respected and influential architects. This book features office and mixed-use space; hotels, recreation and commercial; cultural and civic; universities; and residential design. With colour, figure, pattern and a sense of formal play, Graves' buildings are immediately recognisable and accessible. His name is also synonymous with international design houses Alessi, Baldinger, Duravit, Valli & Valli and Steuben. Здания, спроектированные Майклом Грейвсом, являющиеся предметом для обсуждения уже несколько десятилетий, начали становиться частью общественного создания после того, как они стали характерной чертой очертаний горизонта по всему миру. Что же сделал Грейвс, что обеспечит ему место в мировой истории архитектуры? Прежде всего, это то, что он взял крупномасштабный дизайн надоевшего образца позднего Модернизма, что не умаляет его художественных достижений, изменил цвет, форму, добавил ощущение внешней игры образца, что сделало его здания более узнаваемыми и воспринимаемыми на расстоянии.
