ArchitectureWeek Description
The Walker Art Center recently opened its expanded space, which includes a new theater, a new restaurant, and more galleries, but is best known for being Herzog & de Meuron's first public building in the United States. The book is organized around the decisions and actions of the architects, builders, Walker staff and the audience -- i.e. designing, constructing, unveiling, staging, gathering, patterning, framing, collecting--and highlights the thinking that led to the visible form of the Center. Expanding the Center features a selection of images, including sketches, renderings, and photographs of the construction process and the completed work.

Also available — Selected Architecture Posters and Prints
