From Publishers Weekly
This is both a lavish and deeply respectful tribute to architect Roche (and his partner, John Dinkeloo) and a catalogue raisonne of his work to date. Venice architecture professor Dal Co's introduction acutely summarizes Roche's achievement and contends that Roche's starting point was not the work of Mies van der Rohe but the more intellectually inventive and eclectic buildings of Eero Saarinen. Wonderful examples of Roche's work are illustrated here: the mirror-plated, gracefully bumpy lines of the United Nations Plazas One and Two; the airy, well-integrated additions to the Metropolitan Museum of Art; and the honeycombed court of the Moudy Visual Arts and Communications Building. (Manhattan's Ford Foundation is another noteworthy Roche project.) Dal Co also includes an interview, in which Roche admits that as a youth he thought architecture was something by which "somehow the world could be saved."

About the book >.>.> Kevin Roche Book by Francesco Dal CoThis monograph examines the work of Kevin Roche, focusing on its relationship with the modern architectural tradition and the influence of Eero Saarinen. It revisits Henry-Russell Hitchcock?s earlier assessment of Roche and John Dinkeloo, which situated their work alongside major figures and developments in modern architecture, and argues that this perspective did not fully address the particular character and strategies of Roche?s practice. The book considers how later work offers grounds to test and reassess Hitchcock?s analysis. It traces Roche?s formation in the United States, including his studies at the Illinois Institute of Technology and his subsequent work with Saarinen in Bloomfield Hills. That experience shaped his early projects with Dinkeloo, including the Oakland Museum, Richard C. Lee High School and Cummins factory in England. The discussion relates these buildings to Saarinen?s varied experiments with architectural form and expression, and identifies the Ford Foundation building as an inventive, elegant work that begins a sequence of projects by Roche and Dinkeloo.
