商品簡介
UK architectural author and critic Powell documents the contributions to British post-war architecture by Peter Ahrends, Richard Burton, and Paul Koralek. Established in 1961, their firm of Ahrends, Burton & Koralek reflects the tradition of architecture as social service in which the three founders were schooled. Partnership and collaboration are also incorporated into the ABK work culture, where building design is executed as a team, rather than individual, project. Written for architectural professionals, students, historians, and interested general readers, the text discusses the partners' origins and influences, and then examines major projects undertaken in a variety of areas, including learning and libraries, housing, commercial structures, and civic designs. Illustrated with b&w and color photographs, architectural renderings, and floor plans. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co.
