Koetter Kim's award-winning architecture, master plans, and urban design have revitalized places as diverse as London's docklands and wharves, inner-city Boston, Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon); Chattanooga, Tennessee; and the Asbury Park waterfront in New Jersey. Founded in 1978 by Fred Koetter and Susie Kim, the firm is preeminent in the planning movement known as new urbanism, which seeks to enhance the sense of place, historical context, and cultural continuity in the city. Koetter Kim has also won praise for its sensitive design of dozens of campus and office buildings. This first monograph on the firm presents 32 urban and campus projects in detail, with photographs, plans, and matrix diagrams explaining Koetter Kim's component-based design process. Among the works included are Canary Wharf in London, the Boston Plan and University Park master plan in Boston, and projects in Edinburgh, Seattle, and San Juan, Puerto Rico; and for Princeton, Syracuse, and Puerto Rico universities, Plymouth State College, and Sarah Lawrence College. Essays by distinguished critics examine Koetter Kim's strategies and the firm's approach to the forces of urban change and global economics that affect today's cities.The book contains 16 built buildings, 3 realized master plans and 16 unrealized/unbuilt projects, all are public, corporate or campus related.
