Here is the superbly illustrated survey of one of the
foremost architecture firms at work in the world today. SHoP, a prominent New
York-based architecture firm, is currently at work on numerous projects across
the globe; its clients include the United Colours of Benetton, Virgin Atlantic,
Google, Goldman Sachs and the City of New York; its work has won numerous
awards - including the American National Design Award for Architecture in 2009
- and is in the permanent collection of The Museum of Modern Art. This book
reveals how SHoP did not achieve such success by kow-towing to tradition. The
partners look outside the profession for inspiration and ideas, in both their
buildings and their business model, keeping in line with their mission to
create real-world architecture that considers how design, finance and
technology can work together. This volume explores six of the firms ideologies
practice, typology, politics, finances, sustainability and technology based on
six major projects as well as thirty smaller ones. This book's organization
will allow readers both to see and better understand the firms work and
business strategies, as well as provide ideas to improve their own building
projects
