"A sequel and companion to Richard Meier, architect (Rizzoli, 1984), this substantial new volume resumes the documentation of the numerous and varied works created since 1984 by one of America's most important architects and a winner of the Pritzker Prize for Architecture. Meire's crisp, dynamic, and elegant designs stand forth in all their purity in this illustrated volume designed by Massimo Vegnelli. Included are his Museum for the Decorative Arts and the Museum of Ethnology, both in Frankfort: the Getty Center, Los Angeles; The Hauge City Hall and Central Library; the Canal+ Headquarters, Paris; and several private houses. Twenty-eight projects in all are presented, as well as a chapter devoted to Meier's object designs."--Back flap of cover Preface 8 -- Works in Transition by Kenneth Frampton 10 -- The Second Installment by Joseph Rykwert 18 -- Private Buildings and Projects 26 -- Westchester House 28 -- Helmick House 44 -- Ackerberg House 48 -- Grotta House 68 -- Rachofsky House 86 -- Public Buildings and Projects 94 -- Frankfurt Museum for the Decorative Arts 96 -- Des Moines Art Center Addition 128 -- Bridgeport Center 144 -- Office and Laboratory Facilities for Siemens AG 166 -- Progetto Bicocca 176 -- Ulm Exhibition and Assembly Building 180 -- The Hague City Hall and Central Library 194 -- Portland Eye Center 210 -- Santa Monica Beach Hotel 216 -- Madison Square Garden Site Redevelopment 220 -- Weishaupt Forum 230 -- Royal Dutch Paper Mills Headquarters 240 -- Cornell University Alumni and Admissions Center 250 -- Canal+ Headquarters 254 -- Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art 270 -- Research Center for Daimler-Benz AG 280 -- Library of France 292 -- Frankfurt Museum of Ethnology 302 -- Hypolux Bank Building 310 -- Office Building For Harald Quandt Holding 320 -- Sextius-Mirabeau Master Plan 328 -- Jean Arp Museum 340 -- Getty Center 352 -- Object Designs 396 -- Postscript by Frank Stella 408 -- Biographical Chronology 410 -- Selected Bibliography 426 -- Photographers 430 -- Collaborators 431 -- Includes bibliographical references.
