Book Description
"Kieran Timberlake: Fullness is the third monograph by the architecture firm KieranTimberlake, demonstrating its exacting, sophisticated, and elegant projects of the past decade. This book examines the concepts and contexts for seventeen recent projects in a range of scales and programs, from houses to campus buildings to a transit hub and an embassy, showing how the firm's formative values have combined with innovative design methodologies, a commitment to full-scale, in-house prototyping, and a collaborative ethos to realize works of ambitious scope and complexity. Organized in two volumes, this book illustrates the comprehensive range of architectural beauty present in KieranTimberlake's buildings and the evidence for their mastery of design at all scales and orientations. The first volume presents photographs of each project, depicting the visual whole of the architecture as a fully resolved work. The companion volume reveals the sum of its parts--the pivotal junctures that give rise to final form, including both the moments of discovery and the pragmatic tools of analysis and prototyping that the firm uses. Narratives, drawings, diagrams, details, and anecdotes capture the design process and reveal the varied approaches that give form to the art and science of KieranTimberlake's architecture. KieranTimberlake is an award-winning architecture firm founded in 1984. The 100-person practice is recognized for its transdisciplinary approach which integrates the expertise of architects, researchers, and communicators to create innovative, compelling projects and academic, art, cultural, government, and civic institutions throughout North America and overseas."--Container.
