Synopsis

Guided by a progressive aesthetic vision, the innovative use of materials and technology, a respect for the environment, and its collaborative structure, Polshek Partnership has produced a catalog of public works - from theaters and museums to libraries, laboratories, and schools - that collectively ennoble our civic life on a daily basis.
This volume, the first monograph on the firm in more than a decade, examines sixteen of the partnership's most important buildings in depth, from initial conception through design, construction, and competition. these works include the celebrated Rose Center for Earth and Space at the American Museum of Natural History, the New York Times Printing Plant, and the Ed Sullivan Theater adaptation for David Letterman's Late Show. The book also documents seven of the firm's most recent projects, including Scandinavia House, Judy and Arthur Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall, and the Clinton Presidential Library.
