Description
by Bernardo Fort-Brescia (Foreword by), Raymond Fort (Foreword by), Ian Volner (Introduction by)
The preeminent and hugely influential firm that has pioneered modern apartments for decades offers an in-depth exploration of its distinctive aesthetic and innovative design methodology.
Dazzling, award-winning, and immensely livable homes are presented here by the world-renowned firm, famous for having played such a large role in the creation of the Miami Vice look, but whose work is so much wider ranging, and which now extends across the globe--from Miami to Singapore, London to Toronto, Luxembourg to Ho Chi Minh City. Highlights include the Ellipse, a delightful oval tower on the Jersey City, New Jersey, waterfront with prime Hudson River and Manhattan views, as well as the Aquavista, in Toronto, which boasts an extraordinary array of jutting terrace-balconies and bright interior spaces flooded with light. By seamlessly merging cutting-edge technology, sustainable practices, and bold artistic vision, Arquitectonica has redefined the possibilities of residential architecture. Their work not only elevates urban living but also affirms a commitment to creating vibrant, livable spaces that inspire communities worldwide.Author Biography
