Description
Part of ORO's Architecture in Detail series, Geometries is a pictorial exploration of interior and exterior forms and shapes in both the private and public realms. An introductory essay situates the images within a broad historical and conceptual framework and is accompanied by work from leading architectural photographer Paul Warchol. These specific instances of craft and ornament remind us that architecture can still invoke historical motifs creatively, rewarding close scrutiny. But more than a simple catalogue of ideas, these details are ultimately shown as individual expressions of discovery, gestures of delight or severity, of beauty and clarity: they are meaningful signifiers of the architects presence, signs that the art of design is alive and well.
