Description
Cesar Pelli, born in 1926 in Argentina, heads one of the most renowned architectural practices in North America. Known for his sleek, elegant glazing envelopes, he achieved virtually universal fame in 1997 by designing the Petronas Towers in Malaysia. He is active all over the world, with projects in Latin America, the USA, Asia and Europe. This book presents 21 selected buildings which are documented in detail and with plans reproduced to scale. Among the projects presented are the Petronas Towers, National Museum of Contemporary Art in Osaka, Washington National Airport, Edificio Republica in Buenos Aires, NTT Headquarters in Tokyo and Zurich Tower in Den Haag. Author Michael Crosbie is an architect and architectural critic. He has written extensively on architecture and urban design and teaches at Roger Williams University.
