Richard Meier Houses Book

Richard Meier is one of the most renowned architects working today. His works are characterized by their rationalism, their rather detached purity, and their large expanses of reticulated forms masterfully articulating voids and solids. An architect obsessed with visual effects, Meier is known for such large-scale projects as the Getty Center in Los Angeles. This oversize book, however, concentrates solely on Meier's residential works. Fourteen houses are featured through dramatic color photos of both interior and exterior side by side with drawings, plans, and reflections of both the architect and his clients. A bibliography and a chronology of all of Meier's residential projects, both built and unbuilt, complete this visually stunning volume. Read More

  • Product Description

    Richard Meier began his career in the early 1960s by designing private homes in a Modernist style, characterized by large glazed openings set into pristine white facades. These include Smith House on the coast of Connecticut and Douglas House facing Lake Michigan. This book documents his complete residential oeuvre, and showcases 14 of his American homes. Drawings, plans, clients' personal reflections and the architect's insight accompany the discussion of each house, which includes homes in Dallas, Palm Beach, the Hamptons and New York. A chronology of all Meier's built and unbuilt residential projects and a list of awards are also included along with an essay by Richard Rogers.
