Alison Brooks Architects - TC 163

A joyful portfolio of works is illustrated in this book, described by Brooks as ‘experimental archetypes’. This 386-page monograph charts eighteen built works completed in the past 20 years, extensively documented with descriptive texts, photographs, drawings and emblematic construction details that illuminate each project’s tectonic and conceptual intent. 

The private houses in this book define Brooks’ early career and continue to be a test bed for experimentation. Urban housing schemes have been motivated by a belief that the architect’s duty to the city, and society, is to provide beautiful, sustainable and accessible housing for all - for community well-being. 

Includes recent educational and cultural projects emphasizing architecture as a celebration of time, space and light. A handsome monograph.
