Synopsis:
Eric Owen Moss has become a major force--nationally and internationally--in the field of architecture. Moss's unusual combinations of materials--wood, glass, wallboard, and metals--and his experiments with spatial layering have given rise to many complex and evocative structures. Since his rise to international prominence over the past decade, the award-winning Los Angeles-based architect has continued to invent form and space that defy conventional labels.
Among his best known works are Samitaur/Kodak in Los Angeles and several large on-going projects in Culvert City, which includes adaptive reuse, retail, and office buildings.
This book, following successful volumes 1 and 2 on Moss, considers mostly recent, built work including continuing projects in Los Angeles and Culvert City; the winning competition entry for the new Queens Museum of Art in New York; and important projects in Vienna, Dusseldorf, and St. Petersburg.
