Tom Kundig

Striking, innovative, and dramatically sited, the twenty-nine projects in Tom Kundig: Working Title reveal the hand of a master of contextually astute, richly detailed architecture. As Kundig's work has increased in scale and variety, in diverse locations from his native Seattle to Hawaii and Rio de Janeiro, it continues to exhibit his signature sensitivity to material and locale and to feature his fascinating kinetic "gizmos." Projects range from inviting homes that integrate nature to large-scale commercial and public buildings: wineries, high-performance mixed-use skyscrapers, a Visitor Center for Tillamook Creamery, the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, and the Wagner Education Center of the Center for Wooden Boats, among others. Tom Kundig: Working Title includes lush photography, sketches, and a dialogue between Tom Kundig and Michael Chaiken, curator of the Kundig-designed Bob Dylan Archive at the Helmerich Center for American Research.

Frapant, inovator si amplasat dramatic, cele douazeci si noua de proiecte din Tom Kundig: Working Title dezvaluie mana unui maestru al arhitecturii contextului astut, bogat detaliat. Pe masura ce opera lui Kundig a crescut in scara si varietate, in diverse locatii, de la Seattle-ul sau natal pana la Hawaii si Rio de Janeiro, continua sa-si prezinte sensibilitatea semnaturii fata de material si locatie si sa prezinte fascinantele sale „mansoane” cinetice. Proiectele variaza de la case primitoare care integreaza natura la cladiri comerciale si publice la scara larga: crame, zgarie-nori cu utilizare mixta de inalta performanta, un centru de vizitatori pentru Tillamook Creamery, Muzeul de istorie si cultura naturala Burke si Centrul de educatie Wagner din Centru pentru barci din lemn, printre altele.
