| book description |

Contemporary architect Ralph Johnson is one of the most prolific and awarded American architects practicing today. As Firmwide Design Director at global architecture firm Perkins&Will, which he joined in 1976, Johnsonâ€™s work has shaped communities and spanned continentsâ€”from Africaâ€™s tallest tower to Shanghaiâ€™s landmark natural history museum. In 2015, Johnson was inducted into the National Academy of Design, and in 2022, AIA Chicago honoured him with a Lifetime Achievement Award, recognising his lasting impact on architecture and the built environment.Â Architecture in a Rapidly Changing World is a comprehensive two-volume monograph celebrating Johnsonâ€™s long-spanning career and his impressive portfolio of work, both built and unbuilt, since 1971. Taken together, the volumes explore how individual expression emerges within the context of a larger architectural practice. Volume 1: Creative Journey encapsulates his career from architecture school to the present. Volume 2: Recent Work explores his latest projects in more depth. While Johnsonâ€™s approach has evolved over six decades of practice, his adherence to the core values of humanism, environmentalism, and modernism has never wavered.
