ARO : architecture research office / Stephen Cassell and Adam Yarinsky - New York : Princeton Architectural Press, c2003 - 179 pages : color illustrations ; 25 cm.
Includes bibliographical references.
ARO's applied research / Stan Allen -- US Armed Forces Recruiting station -- Paper wall -- Facts Plus / Sarah Whiting -- Colorado House -- War Remembrance Memorial -- The Daily Practice of Collaboration / Guy Nordenson -- SoHo Loft -- Qiora Store and Spa -- Eyebeam Museum of Art and Technology -- Just Design / Philip Nobel -- Project Listing and Credits -- Awards -- Exhibitions.
The process of investigation, analysis, and testing makes Architecture Research Office (ARO) as much a laboratory as an elegant design firm. Faced with the design of something as simple as a wall, ARO takes an approach completely different than that of most architects. This approach to making architecture, to shrinking the distance between thinking and building, is much evident in their work, which manages to be simultaneously thoughtful and sensual. ARO, the first monograph on the work of this award-winning firm, features work ranging from self-directed research (including their paper wall and modular wall projects), to exhibition design, to commercial interiors, to the popular Armed Services Recruiting Station in Times Square, to the stunning Colorado House in Telluride. All of these projects challenge design conventions, but still delight the senses with their unusual materials, careful detailing, and unexpected spatial discoveries.
