Commercial (hotels, day spas, sports centers, senior centers, assisted living facilities) Public (museums, schools, government buildings) Corporate (offices, medical clinics) Each project contains detailed architectural plans. The book also contains a directory of architects.

Library Journal Review

Years ago, Diane Keaton photographed hotel lobbies-collected in 1980 in Reservations-lovingly, carefully, and with not a thought but to dignify their peculiarity. A freelance journalist and editor at Loft Publications, Quartino uses this hefty book to market the notion of the corporate lobby as entry. Quartino shows these new lobbies as preludes to the organizations to be entered, the corporations above; the thrill of the posh is engineered as a moment of branding that will wow visitors. Some of the lobbies in this volume appear to be otherworldly, showstopping, even intimidating. These entry points are boldly photographed to their best advantage in light and angle. They are indeed impressive, but that's to be expected-they're the work of designers who offer visual power over good design. Featuring 45 projects, architectural plans, and a directory of architects, this book would be a good buy for those who run architectural firms seeking clients in big business. For a library, it's not essential. Recommended for the obscurity of the subject.-David Bryant, Rancho Mirage P.L., CA (c) Copyright 2010.
