| book description |

Richly illustrated, and accompanied by in-depth analysis, Flansburgh Architects: Structure, Form, Community 2010-2025 is the first-ever comprehensive monograph from one of Americaâ€™s most prodigious makers of public buildings, bringing together 20 remarkable projects from around the country and around the world. Since its founding more than six decades ago, the Boston-based firm has built a reputation for a uniquely resourceful approach to institutional work, with designs that frequently make a virtue of constraint: in delicate urban as well as rural environments, in complex historical contexts and under challenging practical conditions, Flansburgh has again and again produced dazzling buildings that solve tough, real-world problems with grace and ingenuity to spare. In a sleek new international school in Croatia; at a rustic dance studio for the Jacobâ€™s Pillow retreat in western Massachusetts; and in the new Liliâ€™uokalani Center for at-risk youth in Honolulu, gleaming like a lighthouse on the nighttime streetsâ€”everywhere Flansburgh has left its mark, the practiceâ€™s dedication to an architecture of honesty and simplicity has made for stronger, more vibrant communities. Through images and words, this book affords a glimpse into 15 years of extraordinary activity and accomplishment.Â
