Richard Meier: Houses 1962/1997 Details
Amazon.com Review Richard Meier is one of the most renowned architects working today. His works are characterized by their rationalism, their rather detached purity, and their large expanses of reticulated forms masterfully articulating voids and solids. An architect obsessed with visual effects, Meier is known for such large-scale projects as the Getty Center in Los Angeles. This oversize book, however, concentrates solely on Meier's residential works. Fourteen houses are featured through dramatic color photos of both interior and exterior side by side with drawings, plans, and reflections of both the architect and his clients. A bibliography and a chronology of all of Meier's residential projects, both built and unbuilt, complete this visually stunning volume. Read more

Really liked the book. But since this was a gift for a friend's birthday, I was very disappointed in its condition. While it as listed as "Used", it was otherwise described as relatively pristine, if I recall correctly. Alas, the jacket showed significant signs of wear and the ends of the pages displayed yellowing.
