"This book presents more than twenty of Pelli's current projects in America, Asia, and Europe. It documents, among other, such diverse solutions as Edificio República in Buenos Aires, Zürich Tower in Den Haag, the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Osaka, Washington National Airport, NTT Headquarters in Tokyo, and of course the famed Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur. In their diversity, these buildings show the extraordinary range and versatility of this architect. In four chapters, the author carefully analyzes Pelli's design approaches and philosophy. Particular value is assigned to the respectful integration of a work with the existing context, as Pelli explains: 'A building must be both background and foreground. As foreground, it must have some exceptional qualities. But it must also try very hard to knit into the fabric of the city'"--Bookjacket.
