Hariri Pontarini Architects - (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Hariri Pontarini Architects is one of the foremost Canadian practices. This richly illustrated monograph explores how Siamak Hariri brings the warmth and intimacy of domestic space to buildings of every scale. A cofounder of Hariri Pontarini Architects and four-time winner of Canada's Governor General's Medal in Architecture, he has developed a modernist language marked by tactile materials and uplifting spaces. The book places homes, temples, hospitals, universities, offices, museums, and theaters in visual conversation, tracing how ideas tested in private residences shape civic commissions. With a foreword by filmmaker Atom Egoyan and writing by critic Stefan Novakovic, the book reveals the idea of home as the thread connecting Hariri's career--from the light-flooded Bahá'í Temple of South America to Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum.

• Documentation of over twenty projects across seven building types
• Foreword by filmmaker Atom Egoyan and texts by critic Stefan Novakovic
• Rich photography, watercolors, models, and client reflections
