Gathering: Bohlin Cywinski Jackson

About this book

Good buildings require an understanding of the principles of structure light space and material but great buildings require an understanding of people. The most successful inspire through the interactions and connections made within them. Gathering is the latest book from the award-winning architecture firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson. This collection of work exemplifies how architecture has the power to bring people together by design allowing them to engage with one another in new ways to generate ideas share their passions and build communities. The fourteen projects included in this volume range greatly in size function and aesthetic from the High Meadow Dwellings at Fallingwater to the Newport Beach Civic Center in southern California to Apple Stores located around the world. Through full-color photographs as well as conceptual sketches and diagrams each case study gives insight into Bohlin Cywinski Jacksons design process and how the firms approach has helped transform clients institutions workplaces retail environments research laboratories and public spaces into extraordinary places for people. An introductory essay and chapter text by noted architectural writer Sam Lubell accompanies this volume.
