SynopsisThe Pennsylvanian architectural practice, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, has received numerous national and international awards for its innovative designs. From the acclaimed Apple Store in New York City to Bill Gates's massive residential complex near Seattle, its diverse architecture is alive to the subtleties of place and people, and the rich possibilities of natural materials and means of construction. This volume focuses in detail on 12 of the practice's rural homes, from Forest House, a Connecticut summer retreat built for Peter Bohlin's parents in 1975 - and the first of his works to receive widespread acclaim - to Point House, a year-round family compound built in 2001., A profoundly humane architecture that celebrates a sense of place, context, ecological sensitivity, and an innovative use of materials. Widely acclaimed for designs that feature environmental sensitivity and meticulous attention to detail linking people, buildings, and nature, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson's virtuoso residential and public projects showcased in this sequel to Arcadian Architecture are presented in detail, with sumptuous new color photography, conceptual sketches, presentation drawings, and construction documents. Included in this volume are the Apple stores, evoking the brand's high-tech cool through sustainable design and ecologically sound materials.
