Guard Tillman Pollock Architects

Walls and Boxes: Guard Tillman Pollock

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Spanning 25 projects over as many years, Walls and Boxes charts the remarkable commitment to modernist design principles that characterises the practice of Guard Tillman Pollock Architects. Through a rich combination of photography, before-and-after plans, and axonometrics, Walls and Boxes unveils the studio's unmatched ability to produce residential architecture that reinvigorates the essence of early modernism while answering to the conditions of contemporary life. In 1988, Mark Guard formed his eponymous practice with Steven Pollock and Keith Tillman; Guard Tillman Pollock was later founded in 2002. The trio bring together a wealth of experience that fuses British, North American, and European training to bring about some of Britain's most elegant homes that are as functional as they are stylish. Coming at a time when specialisation is being met with a general scepticism, Walls and Boxes presents the refreshing story of a studio whose devotion to a particular aesthetic has unravelled a profound spectrum of insight and building expertise that borders on the philosophical. As much a nuanced exploration of Guard Tillman Pollock's practice as it is a powerful manifesto on the basic principles of form, space and light, Walls and Boxes can be utilised as a guidebook on producing transformative residential spaces that resist the limitations and complications otherwise imposed by modern life.
