Detail in Process

Christine Killory, René Davids

Series: AsBuilt

What separates good architecture from great architecture? The difference lies in the details. The way an architect chooses to treat architectural detailing can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Detail in Process features 25 awe-inspiring projects characterized by an unusual synthesis of aesthetics and materials. Editors Killory and Davids have collected the best work of the past two years including new buildings by some of today’s most daring and detail-obsessed architects: Norman Foster, James Carpenter, John Ronan, Renzo Piano, Marmol Radziner, Tadao Ando, Steven Holl, Jean Nouvel, David Chipperfield and SANAA. Comprehensively documented, Detail in Process includes the plans, details, and large-scale sections needed to appreciate the innovative ways these architects have responded to complicated design problems.
