Ideals Then Ideas

Alison Brooks Architects

Herausgeber: Carter, Brian

Beschreibung

Ideals Then Ideas presents an overview of ABA's built and unbuilt work within a set of conceptual, formal, and material themes that have emerged over the past two decades. Four principal ideals – authenticity, generosity, civicness and beauty – inform the urban, spatial, tectonic, and experiential qualities of ABA's architecture; these ideals are the sources for ABA's specific architectural vision, through which a client's and a community's needs can be met.
