Lake/Flato

"Few design firms are as celebrated as San Antonio-based Lake/Flato Architects, the winners of more than three hundred international, national, and regional awards, including the American Institute of Architects' Firm of the Year Award. This book features the firm's large-scale pursuits: arresting, airy, and sustainable public buildings. Featuring eighty-seven stunning color photographs, Lake/Flato explores sixteen recent projects from across the United States. The images--of Mississippi's rustic-modern and ecologically resilient Gulf Coast Research Laboratory, the crystalline Witte Museum, the sinuous Confluence Park structures in San Antonio, and other spaces--are grouped by themes reflecting the designers' ethos: nature, place, craft, and restraint. Architects Kengo Kuma, David Miller, Warren Byrd, Stefanos Polyzoides, Vivian Loftness, and Lance Hosey provide guest commentary, delving into the works and themes and connecting them to Lake/Flato's larger mission of creating a meaningful architecture that brings people into contact with the natural environment while facilitating culture and community"--
