Probably the best book on KPF

This book captures the work of this firm in what is my opinion their peak time. This book shows the firm most influential works. Not everybody will be fan of the corporate post-modern style but it can't be denied that KPF was responsible for some of the best and most iconic skyscrapers and skyscraper-solutions of the last 20 years. And although the title says it contains the work up to '92 you can also expect a lot of detailled drawings and pictures of recently finished works like Nagoya station too, which made this to me a better choice than the follow-up book. The content is a lot of pictures and drawings and a little text on a lot of buildings. More project description would have been nice, but with a lot of drawings there is a lot to find out. Anyway for the one who search for a complete as possible line-up of KPF's buildings, or at least the most important this is the book to pick, the other books in the series with the older and newer buildings could be added afterwards of course, but expect more than a little overlap. The book is well designed and made, as can be expected from Rizzoli.
