Inhaltsangabe

In a world that fetishizes aesthetic frivolity and iconographic bombast at the expense of substance and nuance, the critically acclaimed work of Johnsen Schmaling Architects stands out for its conceptual rigor, profound simplicity, and quiet repose. Formally restrained and informed by innovative tectonic and material experimentations, Johnsen Schmaling's precisely crafted architecture creates poetic atmospheres of enduring clarity.

Johnsen Schmaling: On Rigor is the firm's first monograph and provides an in-depth look at thirteen seminal residential and commercial projects. The book reveals how the architects' unique reading of context and cultural memory translates into an abstract palette of architectural operations that guide the entire design process, from initial concepts to intricate, meticulously detailed material assemblies. The crisply designed book features beautiful photography and delightful graphics that illustrate how the projects came to life.

“Working from the periphery of the architectural world, Johnsen and Schmaling have successfully honed an identity distinct from design firms in the cultural power centers of New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Instead of shouting with grand formal gestures, the architects offer their own perspective, an original voice that articulates a thoughtful, deliberately quiet, and precisely detailed architecture. By arduously eliminating visual noise, Brian Johnsen and Sebastian Schmaling have been able to focus on what is truly important—responding to context, respecting ecological imperatives, and serving the needs of the people living in and using their buildings. Doing so, they have created a body of work with deep appeal, one that, indeed, delights.­­­­­”
