Richard Meier & Partners 1963-2008 - The great New York architect's career to date From the early days as a member of the celebrated New York Five, Richard Meier has been a central figure in contemporary architecture in the United States. With the Getty Center and more recent buildings such as the Jubilee Church in Rome, the New Yorker has cemented his reputation as a truly international figure who has expanded the horizons of contemporary American architecture while maintaining a rigorous approach to design and detailing. Known for his carefully conceived grid plans and frequent use of white, Richard Meier is a master of light and space, able to adapt his style to very different circumstances and locations. The entire span of Meier's career, right up to his most recent designs for New York and Shenzhen, is included in this exceptional volume, created by close collaboration between the architect, the author, and the noted designer Massimo Vignelli.
