Description: "The present volume showcases twenty-four projects that include showrooms, art galleries, installations, small museums, and modernization schemes for international venues such as the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, all realized in the United States since the end of the 1990s." "The authors of these projects, some famous, others less well-known, are brought together in a stimulating succession of different languages, innovative typologies, and new compositional experimentation geared to displaying paintings and art works, fashions and furniture, sculptures or museum collections in the broadest sense." "This unitary compilation of the projects assists the reader in comparing the images created by a single photographer. A descriptive breakdown accompanies each set of photographs, together with the architect's drawings. The book closes with a biography of the designers' studios and various technical indications on the selected projects."--BOOK JACKET.
