This book is a glorious introduction to the work of this brilliantly inventive 'constructeur". In explains his genius, Le Corbusier may have put it best when he observed that Prouvé combined 'the soul of an engineer with that of an archtiect'. Surely Prouvé's inspired use of forms and materials in the design of everthing from children's chairs to portable houses derived from these entwined passions. While many of his early commissions were for wealthy individuals and companies, it was not long before he branched out into mass manufacture, producing furnishings, even building parts for institutional clients.

One of the most prominent and prolific designers and architects of the late twentieth century, Michael Graves is best known for his popular product designs, including the world-famous Alessi whistling-bird teakettle, and controversial buildings, such as the Portland Building in Oregon, Humana Building in Kentucky, and Dolphin and Swan Hotels at Walt Disney World, Florida. Graves was widely seen as the leading voice of postmodernist architecture, which reintroduced human scale, color, and, sometimes, playful forms into the stark white vocabulary of modernism. Following a devastating illness that paralyzed him from the chest down, Graves became a tireless designer and advocate of improved health-care products and facilities before his sudden death in 2015. Shortly before this, he began a series of interviews with journalist Ian Volner, which form the basis of this biography of a remarkable designer. Volner also conducted numerous interviews with Graves's family, patrons, colleagues, and friends. What emerges is a meticulously researched, anecdote-rich human story, as well as a primer on the American architecture scene of the past sixty years and a portrait of a man whose deep passion for his art brought pleasure to millions.

"The Nelson office worked on the cutting edge of design and put to practical use their work in the 1959 American National Exhibition in Moscow - a triumph of technology and enlightened public relations at the height of the Cold War. Nelson himself pioneered the pedestrian shopping mall, developed a revolutionary concept of storage, and pushed the envelope on residential design. He collaborated with some of the foremost designers of his era, including Charles and Ray Eames, Alexander Girard, Isamu Noguchi, and Buckminster Fuller. With an abundance of images and an insightful essay by design critic Michael Webb, Compact Design Portfolio: George Nelson celebrates this inclusive genius of classic mid-twentieth century design."--BOOK JACKET.

For nearly forty years, Michael Graves has produced architecture with a blend of classical rigor and abstract whimsy that has consistently garnered international recognition. This, the fourth chronological volume of Michael Graves' buildings and projects documents the latest period in a career of award-winning design. With more than 100 projects illustrated by over 300 color photographs and architectural drawings by Michael Graves & Associates, this volume demonstrates Graves' enduring status as a leading American architect. Michael Graves recombines traditional architectural elements to expand and transform the language of architecture. Valuing character over style, Graves' designs maintain a sense of experimentation while respecting scale, culture and history. Michael Graves considers himself a "general practitioner" rather than a specialist in any one building type or discipline. He has widely influenced architecture, interior design and industrial design, as well as the classroom through his nearly 40-year career at Princeton University. He and his associates design not only the architecture but also the interiors and furnishings of their projects. Graves' extensive line of products for Target has made highquality design both affordable and readily available. The contemporary, contextual designs of Michael Graves can be found worldwide, from multi-use urban developments, corporate headquarters and hotels to libraries, museums, academic buildings and private residences. Projects in this volume range from the Washington Monument Restoration, which transformed the restoration project into public art, to the United States Embassy Compound in Seoul, Korea; and from the LIFE Magazine Dream House, which provided a well designed and flexible prototype for the average house, to the Miramar Resort Hotel and El Gouna Golf Hotel and Club in El Gouna, Egypt.
