Eric Owen Moss Volume III

Rating:
Summary: Eric Owen Moss: Buildings and Projects 3
Review: In a brief introduction, Richard Meier contributes a keen appreciation of Moss, who represents the Dionysian spirit in architecture as expressively as the New York mandarin embodies the Apollonian. The roller coaster ride begins immediately after, racing through the latest installment of urban interventions in Culver City, and a flurry of unrealized projects from Ibiza to St Petersburg, nearly all sponsored or encouraged by the maverick developer Frederick Samitaur Smith. Much as one admires Smith's enlightened patronage, one wishes that other clients would also commission work from Moss, especially in LA, a place to which his work has a peculiar affinity.
