RMJM INSIDE OUT OUTSIDE IN: MORE THAN ARCHITECTURE

Inside Out, Outside In celebrates the fifteenth anniversary of architects RMJM and the significant contribution the firm has made to architecture in the UK and beyond. From its creation in Britain in 1956, the practice has evolved and developed into an international firm with 600 members of staff and a broad and eclectic variety of projects. RMJM has always remained true to its founding principles: putting people first and valuing the process as much as the product.
This book sets out the workings of RMJM from the inside out - the unique combination of personalities and cultures that it embraces - and from the outside in - exploring its client relations and current projects. Inside Out, Outside In examines the processes employed by the practice from concept to completion and explores the influences and technologies that impact upon the company's unique perspective on architecture and development. A diversity of material, including both personal viewpoints and academic assessment, alongside plans, drawings, photographs, paintings and illustrations, provides a new way of looking at architecture, design, space and visual culture.
