Summary: Robert Marino, architect, engineer, and teacher, has built an amazing array of residential projects within a two-hour distance of New York City. These elegant structures are situated within, and sometimes attached to, the relatively unenergized housing fabric of the city and suburb. Understood individually, each project presents itself as a unique architectural proposition; understood as a body of work, the common themes of Marino's various projects appear. While he has many intuitive tools at his disposal, his projects always begin with the potential for unencumbered structure to be the best means for architectural expression.Summary: Contemporary World Architects presents new architectural talent from around the world. This juried library focuses on emerging architects destined to be at the forefront of architecture in the next decade.Summary: By creating a series of visual books that celebrate these architects, we are saying, "This is the architecture that will last." A book, like a building, is not immune to destruction and erosion, but it does give form to an idea and to a design -- and it provides a sense of permanence. These books are designed with the essence of architecture in mind; each is aimed at visually communicating the process by which architecture is created.Summary: The architects in these volumes have been selected from hundreds of nominations and are recognized not only for their superior design, but also for their innovation, creativity, sensitivity, and vision. Each volume includes an introduction by a leading world architect, making this series an essential addition to every architect's library.

Contemporary World Architects presents new architectural talent from around the world. This juried library focuses on emerging architects destined to be at the forefront of architecture in the next decade.

By creating a series of visual books that celebrate these architects, we are saying, "This is the architecture that will last." A book, like a building, is not immune to destruction and erosion, but it does give form to an idea and to a design -- and it provides a sense of permanence. These books are designed with the essence of architecture in mind; each is aimed at visually communicating the process by which architecture is created.

The architects in these volumes have been selected from hundreds of nominations and are recognized not only for their superior design, but also for their innovation, creativity, sensitivity, and vision. Each volume includes an introduction by a leading world architect, making this series an essential addition to every architect's library.
