Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis

Opportunistic Architecture

Paul Lewis, Marc Tsurumaki, David J. Lewis

Series: New Voices in Architecture

Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis presents a diverse selection of built and speculative projects ranging from small installations to larger institutional buildings. Their celebrated restaurant projects – including a café with a wall made by the architects from 479 cast-plaster coffee cup lids – present innovative solutions to the challenges of working with existing space. Their large institutional buildings such as Bornhuetter Hall for Wooster College imaginatively engage the particulars of program, budget, client needs and code. Built projects are accompanied by thought-provoking texts, beautiful drawings, and photographs. An appendix distills their design philosophy into five tactics, a ready-made code for students and practitioners looking for design ideas for the real world. Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis will enlighten and inspire architects to create more useful, attractive, and interesting forms.
