Description

John McAslan + Partners is one of Britains most respected and dynamic architectural practices
with projects in the United Kingdom, Europe, North Africa, Asia and the United States. 'Culture of
Building' provides an up-to-date account of the work of the McAslan studio (which celebrates its
twentieth anniversary in 2004) and detailed, fully illustrated descriptions of many recent and
ongoing projects, from the Volubilis visitor centre and museum in Morocco and the refurbishment
and extension of Frank Lloyd Wrights Florida Southern College campus to educational buildings
in London, Manchester and Southampton and a major office scheme in the City of London.
Written by Kenneth Powell, the book examines the development and philosophy of the practice, which has a particular reputation for renewing and transforming historic buildings, and looks at the way in which a vision of history has informed its highly innovative approach to new design. Culture of Building analyses the culture of an office that has made a unique contribution to the architectural scene worldwide.
