Excellent Firm: Excellent Book
This book features the work of a firm that has excelled at both architecture and urban design throughout its existance. That's no easy task. All of the projects featured show a combination of intellectual rigor (the partners have taught and lectured extensively) as well as the practical aspects of good design (firmness, commidity and delight). To architects who have followed the work of Cooper, Robertson & Partners the book is long overdue but worth the wait.
