Crossings: Dominique Coulon & Associes

Description

> The writing of Dominique Coulon & Associes, nominated twice for the Mies van der Rohe award, reflects the agency's work in connection with different contextual postures and the construction of complex spatial relationships.

"...the meat of any monograph is its projects, and those in Crossings are very good and documented very well. Logically, the standouts for this book blogger are two of the libraries: Thionville (third spread) and Pelisanne. As it happens, each of these buildings features curving glass walls, which make them stand out visually from the orthogonal and diagonal compositions that make up the most of the two decades of buildings on display here." --John Hill, A Daily Dose of Architecture "...the Modernist legacy survives in the work of Dominique Coulon and Associates." --Architectural Record "Impressively and profusely illustrated in full color throughout, as well as thoroughly 'reader friendly' in organization and presentation, "Crossings: Dominique Coulon & Associes" is an extraordinary and invaluable contribution to personal, professional, community, college, and university library Contemporary Architectural Studies collections and supplemental curriculum reading lists." --Midwest Book Review
