First known for its flamboyant contributions to Miami's skyline, the firm of Arquitectonica and its brilliant young principals, Bernardo Fort-Bressia and Laurinda Spear, have pursued an unconventional modernism that is both abstract and romantic, playful and dramatic. This lovely book covers some 40 projects, with text by Dunlop and a rich visual narrative by Massimo Vignelli. The book's lavish use of color reflects the importance of that element to Arquitectonica's work. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
