Murphy/Jahn

Selected and Current Works. Edited by Stephen Dobney. Introduction by Ross Miller.

Helmut Jahn's architecture first received wide attention in 1970 when he helped solve the challenging technical problem of building a new McCormick Place on the foundations of the old. Assisting Gene Summers at the Chicago firm that now bears his name (Murphy/Jahn), Jahn demonstrated a rare quality that still marks his work today: the ability to move almost seamlessly from problem-solving-the technical side of architecture-to design. This book features the work of Helmut Jahn in full color. It selected for inclusion represent the most significant works from each stage of his career, including works currently in progress. Project descriptions feature the architect's working drawings, plans and renderings, as well as full-color photographs, many in large format. 264 Seiten mit zahlreichen meist farbigen Abb., Großformat, Leinen (The Master Architect Series; No 8/The Images Publishing Group 1995) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
