Hervé approached his subjects seeking not only to document the buildings he was commissioned to photograph but also, especially, to convey a sense of space, texture, and structure. Through light and shadow, Hervé defined the dialogue between substance and form. By delineating a strong contrast between light and shadow as well as placing emphasis on building details, the photographer was able to communicate the depth of a room, the surface of a wall, or the strength of a building's framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor too long, Hervé—the master of architectural photography—has eclipsed Hervé—the photographer—whose career began as early as 1938 and whose subject matter varied widely.

From Madison Square Garden to Shenzen, China, his sleek, luminously white modernism has created some of the most high-profile, and distinctive, buildings of the 20th and 21st centuries. Meier’s portfolio is as varied as it is illustrious. He has worked with Roman treasures (the Ara Pacis Museum), seaside resorts (Jesolo Lido Village), civic centers (San Jose City Hall), and private clients in the Hamptons. On each project, Meier’s hallmarks are careful grid plans, with expansive use of white surfacing and glass. The buildings are as much beacons of brilliance from the exterior as they are temples to clarity and purpose inside. This introductory book traces Meier’s complete career to explore the making of a cult architect. With abundant images, we take in all his most famous projects, such as the Getty Center in Los Angeles, as well as his most recent works such as the OCT Shenzhen Clubhouse in Shenzhen, China and the Burda Collection Museum in Baden-Baden, Germany. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Peter Gossel \u003cbr\u003e- 96 pages \u003cbr\u003e- 8.3 W x 10.2 L \u003cbr\u003e- Hardcover \u003cbr\u003e- Taschen \u003cbr\u003e- 2016\u003cbr\u003e- Item #: 978-3836542647\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TASCHEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":11016081861,"sku":"9783836542647","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8502\/products\/978-3836542647_2.jpg?v=1571438621"},{"product_id":"the-los-angeles-central-library-building-an-architectural-icon-1872-1933-978-1606064900","title":"The Los Angeles Central Library: Building an Architectural Icon, 1872-1933","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKenneth A.

In September 1997 the New Yorker commissioned Robert Polidori (born 1951) to photograph Meier’s building. Within 48 hours he had made images of its exterior but was dissatisfied. Polidori wanted to document the museum’s interior, and proceeded to photograph the rooms in which artworks were either freshly installed or still being so. The resulting photos show the museum in the process of taking shape, exposing the mechanics of curatorship. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- David Dorenbaum and Amanda Maddox \u003cbr\u003e- 60 pages \u003cbr\u003e- Hardcover \u003cbr\u003e- Steidl \u003cbr\u003e- 2018 \u003cbr\u003e- Item #: 978-3958293830\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/501331563\u0026amp;color=%230078df\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"STEIDL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1723531493385,"sku":"9783958293830","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8502\/products\/978-3958293830_1.jpg?v=1571438662"},{"product_id":"architecture-and-design-at-the-museum-of-modern-art-the-arthur-drexler-years-1951-1986-978-1606065815","title":"Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art: The Arthur Drexler Years, 1951-1986","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThomas S.
