This book documents the 30-year collaboration of one of America's finest architects and a great architectural photographer. Hugh Newell Jacobsen's projects, located in the US and abroad, have earned over 80 design awards, including six National Honor Awards from the American Institute of Architects. Robert Lautman's photographs of Jacobsen's work have been published regularly in "Architecture", "Architectural Record", "House & Garden" and many other journals. This book celebrates their life's work together. A probing introduction by Vincent Scully traces the influences of Louis Kahn and Philip Johnson in Jacobsen's works and praises the "instinct for precision, clarity and elegant formality" so evident in all his projects. Over 50 works are presented chronologically, including Bolton Square, the Renwick Gallery, Elliot House, the Arts and Industries Museum, Tidewater House, and Mendoza House - the National Honor Award winners. Descriptions and renderings of six current projects are also featured. Because, as Jacobsen writes, "the eloquence in the language of architecture is measured by how a building is put together", his famous construction details - hand-lettered by the architect - are reproduced on six full pages. Also included are a foreword by Massimo Vignelli, who designed the book, an illustrated biographical chronology and a list of additional readings by and about Jacobsen.
