Hariri & Hariri Architecture: Leading Architects

Description

Regarded by critics to be one of the most progressive American firms to be seen in the last 30 years, Hariri & Hariri Architecture was established in 1986 by Iranian-born Cornell-educated sisters, Gisue Hariri and Mojgan Hariri. Their work imbues their own unique brand of modernism across conceptual, residential, commercial and institutional works. This monograph, part of Images Publishing's Leading Architects Series, follows on the heels of the acclaimed 2010 monograph, Hariri & Hariri Buildings & Projects, published by IMAGES. This new book showcases the firm's dedication to the research and construction of innovative ideas. The firm has been commissioned for a number of high-profile projects, including the now iconic Sagaponac House, the first of numerous homes by internationally acclaimed architects gathered by Richard Meier and the late Coco Brown for the 'Houses at Sagaponac' development in Long Island, New York, and the firm continues to be involved in numerous commercial and residential projects currently in development in the Middle East. Richly photographed throughout and featuring detailed plans, the book chronicles in glorious detail the fine output of this dynamic duo and their influence on architecture and design across the globe.

They have devoted time to teaching since 1987, to emphasize the importance of academic and philosophical discourse within the context of a professional practice, and have been Adjunct Professors of Architecture at Columbia University, a Visiting Critic at Cornell University, McGill University, and Parsons School of Design.
