ALEXANDER GORLIN ING: Buildings and Projects - Tapa blanda

"If one teaches long enough and lives long enough, inevitably one's kids appear on the scene. Alex Gorlin was not my actual student at Yale, but I felt his presence. Now is a practicing architect...bursting out of the gate with an architectural life full of ideas." --Frank Gehry "Alex Gorlin is that rarest of creatures-the reasonable architect...Talent of high order permeates these buildings...they stand for judgement without the protection of formal obfuscation or the armature of an ideology, and reveal the talent all the more clearly." --Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk

In only ten years of practice, New York-based architect Alexander Gorlin has established a prominent reputation as the designer of more than 20 residences for high-profile clients in the media and fashion industries. In his work Gorlin investigates the dialogue between architecture and landscape, exploring the affinities between classicism and modernism, in materials ranging from the sensual to the industrial. The first monograph on Gorlin showcases 28 projects with stunning color photography and includes townhouses, private houses, and apartments, urban planning studies for Battery City Park and the Tribeca areas of Manhattan, and entries for the Prado Museum and Berlin Spreebogen competitions.
