Hugh Newell Jacobsen, Architect
Massimo Vignelli (Editor)
The American Institute of Architects Press, 1988
Paperback | 9 x 12 inches | 352 pages | 400+ illustrations | English | ISBN: 978-0913962978
PUBLISHER’S DESCRIPTION:
This book documents the three-decade-long collaboration of one of America’s finest architects and a great architectural photographer. Hugh Newell Jacobsen’s projects, located in this country and abroad, have earned over 80 design awards, including six National Honor Awards from the American Institute of Architects. Robert Lautman’s photographs of Jacobsen’s work have been published regularly in Architecture, Architectural Record, House & Garden, and many other journals. This book, at last, celebrates their life’s work together.
A probing introduction by Vincent Scully traces the influences of Louis Kahn and Philip Johnson in Jacobsen’s work and praises the “instinct for precision, clarity, and elegant formality” so evident in all his projects. Over 50 works are presented chronologically, including Bolton Square, the Renwick Gallery, Elliott House, the Arts and Industries Museum, Tidewater House, and Mendoza House—the National Award Winners. Descriptions and renderings of six current projects are also featured.
Because, as Jacobsen writes, “the eloquence in the language of architecture is measured by how a building is put together,” his famous construction details—hand-lettered by the architect—are reproduced in six full pages. Also included are a foreword by Massimo Vignelli, who designed the book, an illustrated biographical chronology, and a list of additional readings by and about Jacobsen.
