The AsBuilt series is dedicated to presenting recent examples of formal and material innovation in architecture through detail and technical drawings, diagrams, photographs, and work-in-progress material, including fabrication and assembly. Details, Technology, and Form, the third volume in the series, explores the genesis of twenty-five projects built in the United States and Canada, many notable for their multi-disciplinary design process. Editors Christine Killory and René Davids have selected buildings which have contributed to the ongoing evolution of architecture as a synthesis of art, engineering, and craft. From designs inspired by responses to environmental and energy concerns to re-interpretations of regional precedents or transformations of pre-fabricated building systems, all are testaments to the range and reach of contemporary architectural technology.

A visual and global chronicle of the triumphs, challenges, and impact of over 100 women in architecture, from early practitioners to contemporary leaders. Marion Mahony Griffin passed the architectural licensure exam in 1898 and created exquisite drawings that buoyed the reputation of Frank Lloyd Wright. Her story is one of the many told in The Women Who Changed Architecture, which sets the record straight on the transformative impact women have made on architecture. With in-depth profiles and stunning images, this is the most comprehensive look at women in architecture around the world, from the nineteenth century to today. Discover contemporary leaders, like MacArthur Fellow Jeanne Gang, spearheading sustainable design initiatives, reimagining cities as equitable spaces, and directing architecture schools. An essential read for architecture students, architects, and anyone interested in how buildings are created and the history behind them.

Chicago has been at the forefront of architectural progress for more than a century. This completely revised edition documents the city's recent architecture, starting with the deveopments at O'Hare airport, taking in the commercial buildings of the Old Town, the West Loop, and the Central Business District, and ending with the houses and municipal facilities of the suburbs. Along the way the book covers museums (including the Museum of Contemporary Art by Josef Paul Kleihues - a rare example of a major building in the city by an imported architect), schools, diners, cottages, shops, and schools. Among the architects whose work is featured are Sarah Dunn/Martin Felsen, Studio Gang/O'Donnell, Doug Garofalo/Randall Kober, and Helmut Jahn, Carol Ross Barney, Paul Florian, Ron Krueck, Obi Nwazota, and Joe Valerio. More than one hundred buildings, all completed within the last ten years and including the work of such well-known firms as Skidmore Owings & Merrill, Holabird & Root and Stanley Tigerman, as well as many new, young firms, are described and illustrated, with full location and access details.
