DESCRIPTION:
Since the release of their best-selling Opportunistic Architecture in 2007, New York City based architecture firm Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis has picked up a National Design Award from the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum and a James Beard Award for restaurant design while continuing to produce work featuring their unique combination of programmatic wit, material fabrication, and construction. LTL Architects maintain that architecture is most interesting when it engages people and collective situations. The majority of their work focuses on spaces that address the public - whether cultural, institutional or hospitality based. Join LTL Architects as they discuss how distinct architecture can create spaces that intensify the social life of our institutions and cities.

Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis: Intensities (2012 Princeton Architectural), a new monograph released in November 2012, presents twenty built and speculative projects ranging from small installations to interior home and office transformations to large cultural institutions and urban renewal plans. Projects include: Arthouse at the Jones Center in Austin, Texas; Claremont University Consortium in Claremont, CA; the Department of Social and Cultural Analysis at New York University; Villa 93 in Ordos, Inner Mongolia; and Water Proving Ground at the Museum of Modern Art. The firm's signature drawings and process shots, reproduced in the book, reveal the methods behind their remarkably diverse works.

Copies of the book are available for purchase and signing at the event after the audience Q&A.
