mbr Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 look at Architecture Record's site for starters. Then sites like http://www.archinect.com to find other links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Are you looking for similar architects/works or are you looking for reading sources? Personally, I'd recommend you read up on Carlo Scarpa...the Brion Cemetary for starters. Another is Louis Kahn of course.. there is a great documentary out about him called My Architect.

Jason Matthews Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 You can also look at Steven Holl and his church in Seattle. Believe it or not Meier is also a great source for minimalism and massings, just ignore the white panels. In my opinion there is no architect better than Carlo Scarpa.

Chris_Mac Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 ...In my opinion there is no architect better than Carlo Scarpa. I'd have to say I agree with your opinion... :-) Also have a look at Peter Zumthor's work... Maybe David Chipperfield as well. It shouldn't be hard to find publications of their work. Maybe also have a look at the work of Eduardo Souta de Moura - there is a great retrospective of his work published by El Croquis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
