Présentation de l'éditeur :
British architect Richard Rogers has been described as the last
humanist, in recognition of his determination to create public spaces
that encompass the diversity and complexity of the contemporary world.
This book takes a look at the work of Rogers and his partners, from
his early career in the Sixties and Seventies, to his collaboration with
Renzo Piano on the design of the Pompidou Centre (1971-77), to numerous
projects up to present day through his architectural practice, Richard
Rogers Partnership (now Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners).
Rogers and his team use new materials and innovative techniques to
build structures that are lightweight, transparent and environmentally
friendly. His buildings create a seductive interplay of light and shadow
and are simple to understand and use.
In this book, projects executed by Richard Rogers and his partners
are presented in sections devoted to the various architectural themes
that define his work : legible ; transparent ; lightweight ; systems ;
green ; urban ; public ; together with sections on both early work and
work in progress.
