About this product

Product Information

The graceful curves of Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles are familiar to anyone interested in contemporary architecture or the work of this great master. They are also famous, if not infamous, to the ironworkers faced with the challenge of building them. With a building skin stretched tight and tolerances shaved to a thousandth of an inch, there was simply no room for typical industry standards. A new breed of ironworker was required, one who relies on modern tools like lasers, yet whose muscular forms wielding hammers hundreds of feet above the ground testify still to the great unchanging tradition of their trade. Photographer Gil Garcetti had unparalleled free access to the construction site. The personal relationships he developed with the workers over the course of many months and his admiration for their artistry are evident in these moving portraits. Garcetti's evocative images, reproduced in rich duotones, bring to life the romantic ideal of the heavy industry.

  • Book out of print.

    I went on line to get this book because it was out of print. I wanted a nice copy at a reasonable price. My father and brothers were ironworkers and I use to do this type of work when working my way through college. I wanted the pictures of the workers as a reminder of youthful memories. The authors autograph was a bonus.

  • Classic Ironwork at its best !

    Great photography. A super read for the Ironworker or anyone with interest in archetecture. This happens to be my last project as I retired toward the end of the erection. It will be interesting for the non-Ironworker to read the Ironworkers descriptions of working on this project. Many people will be amazed at the pride and fidelity displayed by this very special group of MEN. You will not be disapointed with this book and I hope you share it with others.
