外文书名：Penoyre & Prasad的建筑艺术变革

内容简介 Following almost 20 years in practice, comes Penoyre & Prasad s first monograph, Transformations. One of the UK s leading architectural practices, Penoyre & Prasad are renowned for buildings that are centred on people s experience, are green and visually striking. Transformations provides a comprehensive overview of the practice, their approach and their work, in their own words.
作者简介 Greg Penoyre and Sunand Prasad (recently elected President of the RIBA) have been in practice together for 18 years. In that time, they have garnered an eclectic portfolio of buildings that are both visually striking and practical, and for a variety of uses, including education, healthcare, housing and culture. Transformations: The Architecture of Penoyre & Prasad consists of eight essays written by Prasad: "The Anchor of Function;" "Architecture, Art and Culture;" "Plan Section and Elevation;" "Who Designs?;" "From DIY to PFI;" "Environments for Healing;" "Environments for Learning;" and "Working with Existing Buildings." These texts discuss Penoyre and Prasad’s engagement with their clients and examines its relationship to both architectural history and the contemporary situations and purposes for which the practice works.
媒体推荐 Review
A straightforward guide as to how two architects have built a career doing what they clearly love and affecting people's lives along the way... it's accessible, informative and interesting... In summary, this book could be described as a triumph of substance over style. Which is not to say that P&P are not concerned with style, because they clearly are. It's just that it feels like the substance of architecture - people - matters more. --The Sesquipedalist

Review
Sets an agenda that many architects would claim to pursue but few others achieve in any measure. --Architecture
