The projects in this book represent the last 15 years of Manuel Cadrecha's work across a wide range of project types, clients, and geographies. From city-scale international developments to neighborhood schools, these works are grounded in his abiding interest in materials and form, color and light, the old in the new, and the search for the inspiring in the everyday. Featuring a foreword by Perkins+Will CEO Phil Harrison, the book includes preliminary hand sketches along with personal insights into the design inspiration for these now iconic buildings. Cadrecha seeks to de-mystify the architectural process, clearly identifying inspiration sources, and recognizing the benefits of a collaborative design process. AUTHOR: As a Design Director for the global architecture and design firm Perkins+Will, Manuel Cadrecha's daily work is about crafting a unified design tone and orchestrating teams that elevate the possibilities for each project. Over a 35-year career, Manuel has become an ardent advocate for interdisciplinary design, driving an evolution towards a creative studio model that works across design scales and disciplines.
