Following the success of Ken Tate's three previously published books by IMAGES, this volume adds new depth and insight to the work of one of America's most gifted classical architects. Featuring nine residential projects, A Classical Vision reveals the extraordinary range of styles that this firm has produced over the last 20 years.
This monograph surveys thirty of the most iconic buildings designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), the legendary American architecture firm, since its founding in 1936. Along with such architects as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, SOM is largely credited with propagating the Internationalist style of architecture that filled the New York skyline with such midcentury masterworks as Lever House (1952) and Chase Manhattan Plaza (1961). Before the current age of the super skyscraper, SOM designed what was for almost thirty years the world's tallest building, Chicago's Sears Tower (1973), as well as the city's John Hancock Center (1970)
