An Ideal Collaboration : The Art of Classic Details II Hardback
by Philip James Dodd
Hardback
Description
"Showcasing 25 residences by today's leading classical architects, this wonderful new book also addresses the fundamental issue of collaboration between architect, decorator, landscaper, and the enormous cast of characters who bring their formidable talents to the realization of every project.
An Ideal Collaboration is an important addition to the literature of architecture and design." - Ellie Cullman "An Ideal Collaboration shares a place in my library next to volumes on great 20th century Classicists.
It is essential as a visual reference to the continued evolution of timeless style." - Steven Gambrel In the follow-up to the critically acclaimed The Art of Classical Details, Phillip James Dodd continues his look at some of the finest examples of contemporary classical architecture in Great Britain and the United States, while also examining how collaboration is the key to their successful design.
In reality, collaborative relationships are rare, especially amongst designers, where each is often focused on their own individual objectives and unable to transcend their own egos.
Often used as a catch phase, but not often realised, true collaboration requires an understanding - and an appreciation - of the role that all parties play in the design and construction of a home.
An Ideal Collaboration includes the work of some of the most notable names in contemporary residential design.
Architects, decorators, landscape designers, consultants, builders, craftsmen, artists and vendors, all address the design process and the pivotal role that collaboration plays in creating cohesive timeless designs.
