Publisher Summary 1
This volume showcases a variety of contemporary architectural approaches to entrances and openings, with examples that cover a wide range of budgets, environmental constraints, and artistic visions. Twenty-four projects were chosen from an open competition of contemporary leading architects, and each project selected is described briefly and illustrated generously with color photographs, plans, elevations, and finely drawn details that show how the opening was constructed. The book is divided into sections by opening type: operable walls, vestibules, gateways, interior transitions, canopies, and sculptural elements.
