Description
James Carpenter is an artist and sculptor whose work focuses on developing new glass and material technologies. His interest in architecture has evolved into a unique design practice that ranges from technical glass and materials consulting to designing curtain walls, roofing systems, bridges, and sculptures. James Carpenter Design Associates, founded in 1978, has worked collaboratively with pre-eminent architects and engineers, including Norman Foster, Richard Meier, SOM, and Michael Van Valkenburgh, creating the artistic complement to many significant buildings.
In James Carpenter: Environmental Refractions - the first monograph on the artist - author Sandro Marpillero explores the unique opportunities afforded by the transparency, reflectivity, and compressive strength of glass. With over 300 images, this book brings to light the work of an exciting designer crossing the boundaries between architecture, engineering, and fine arts. It is well-produced with excellent quality images.
