Taschen Basic Art Series 2.0 Meier

A Taschen Basic Art Series 2.0 hardcover on Richard Meier, measuring 10.5 x 8.5 x 1 inches across 96 pages and weighing 1.3 lb. Subtitled "Let there be light," it traces the luminous modernism of Richard Meier, a self-proclaimed member of the "New York Five" whose sleek, luminously white buildings — from Madison Square Garden to Shenzhen, China — rank among the most high-profile of the 20th and 21st centuries. Meier's portfolio spans Roman treasures like the Ara Pacis Museum, seaside resorts such as Jesolo Lido Village, civic centers including San Jose City Hall, and private clients in the Hamptons, all marked by careful grid plans and an expansive use of white surfacing and glass. This introductory volume traces his complete career through abundant images, covering famous projects such as the Getty Center in Los Angeles as well as recent works like the OCT Shenzhen Clubhouse and the Burda Collection Museum in Baden-Baden, Germany, and follows the series format with an introduction to the architect's life and work, his major works in chronological order, background on clients and construction, a list of selected works with a map of key locations, and roughly 120 illustrations. A well-illustrated reference for any design library.
