Synopsis
Filled with beautiful photographs and informative essays, this volume presents the genius of A. Quincy Jones, whose collaborative nature provides a timely example for today's architects. While the architect A. Quincy Jones is most recognized for his glamorous homes for Los Angeles's cultural elite, he was equally dedicated to postwar Southern California's rapidly expanding middle class. As this fascinating book reveals, Jones and his collaborators were truly ahead of their time. Their vision of creating affordable, aesthetically pleasing structures prefigured the advent of several important architectural trends, such as sustainable building designs, maximization of available space, and sensitive site planning. Filled with images by noted photographer Jason Schmidt, as well as period photographs by Julius Shulman and others, this volume looks at every aspect of Jones's career. Original drawings, models, and furniture designs from the architect's personal archives illustrate a wide variety of projects featuring the hallmarks of Jones's style: soaring interior spaces, the blurring of indoors and out, laminated timber construction, angled walls, and innovative use of concrete, redwood, and glass. Essays explore Jones's quintessentially collaborative nature as he consulted with other noted architects, landscapers, interior designers, developers, and city planners to create buildings of lasting beauty and importance., While A.

- a***r (6)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook was in great condition, as described. Quick shipping. Thank you.
- s***r (50)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe price was perfectly reasonable for the product, and the book arrived promptly and in great condition—like new, as described: the slightest bit of noticeable use and that was it. The seller wrapped it in literally 6 layers of protection (cardboard, bubble wrap, waterproof, etc.), which seemed like overkill but was much appreciated. My wife was so impressed that she demanded I leave a positive review immediately—and she was right. I’d be happy to do business with this seller again.
- m***_ (358)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe seller shipped the book quickly, tracked for added security and it arrived on time. Around 3 weeks which isn't bad at all. The book was exactly as advertised by the seller. I had no problem comunicating with the seller, he answered all my questions. He also packed the book very well so it wouldn't get damaged during shipping. It arrived as good as new. I'm very satisfied, the seller showed a very customer friendly /professional attitude. Hence my 5/5 positive feedback to him.Engineering a Compiler by Linda Torczon and Keith Cooper (2011, Hardcover) (#176727972484)
