This new monograph presents the architecture of Richard Holzer, whose long and productive career has shaped the urban fabric of Panama. He is the architect behind many Panamanian landmarks including the Avesa Building, the Continental Hotel, the Credicorp Bank building, and, more recently, the Torres de las Americas (Tower of the Americas). Tracing his career from the 1950s to the present, the book presents more than 45 projects in detail and more than 80 projects in brief. That these projects are but a sample of his work indicates the extraordinarily prolific output of a master architect.

Architect Louis Kahn discovered late in life how to transform the ruins of ancient Rome into modern buildings. His pursuit of an ideal geometric order was informed by a keen sense of history. Based on platonic shapes, his buildings, at once monumental and human in scale, marked the end of the international style and opened the way for a revival of vernacular and classical traditions. These themes are documented in a lavishly illustrated retrospective survey which accompanies a traveling exhibition. Brownlee, associate professor of art history, and DeLong, professor of architecture, both at the University of Pennsylvania, track Kahn's prodigious career in intimate essays followed by a 160-page pictorial section analyzing 14 key projects.
