The firm’s diverse practice weaves together a commitment to craftsmanship with a honed sense of materiality and space to create structures at once elegant, controlled, and pleasant to inhabit. In all, MirÓ Rivera Architects has won more than one hundred design awards and represented American architecture at exhibitions worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first from the firm, this volume provides critical insight into the studio’s creative process through texts, 95 drawings, and 231 photographs, exploring two decades of work that has helped bring Texas architecture onto the international stage. Featuring essays by Michael Sorkin, Nina Rappaport, Juan Luis de las Rivas Sanz, and Carlos JimÉnez-prominent thinkers in urban design and architecture-and new images by renowned photographers Iwan Baan and Sebastian Schutyser, this book examines MirÓ Rivera’s approach to Austin as a “landscape city” and situates the firm’s work in a global context related to concepts of nature, urbanism, sustainability, and history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52590958248216,"sku":"9781477321409","price":43.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/miro-rivera-architects-building-a-new-arcadia-hardback-9781477321409","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
