About
In 'Shaping Place', founding principals Turan Duda, FAIA and Jeffrey Paine, FAIA, are joined by the firm's four studio leaders to discuss the evolution of their work and thematic underpinnings since publication of their previous volume, Individual to Collective, in 2013. This compilation of buildings spans diverse typologies to illustrate how the firm's ideas on public space, outdoor environments, evolving working and learning models, and contextual sensitivity are universal to creating meaningful architecture. With chapters focusing on design for wellness, academia, the workplace and urban development, the volume presents the realisation of the thematic roots discussed in Individual to Collective across a diverse range of scales, material qualities, structural systems and architectural palettes. Steve Dumez, FAIA, of Eskew Dumez Ripple, provides perspective on the firm's work within the larger lens of architectural practice.
