Featured projects include the U.S. Embassy in Lima, Peru; a performing arts center, convention center, and urban complex in Dijon, France; the Westin New York Hotel in Times Square; Philips Arena in Atlanta and AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami; and the U.S. Federal Courthouse in Miami. With a comprehensive survey of the firm's history by architectural critic Beth Dunlop, Arquitectonica is an authoritative presentation of this influential firm's contribution to the modern urban landscape."--BOOK JACKET.
