(SINGLE BUILDING Series Process of an Architectural Work).

Introduction by Nader Tehrani.

"Drawing on the richness of the arizona landscape, the phoenix central library appears as a monolith On the horizon," writes nader tehrani in his introductory essay. "it rises above the flat landscape in a Robust cubic mass, evading any architectural reference to scale, aperture, or signs of inhabitation- A building masquerading as landscape. Copper camouflages the building in the region's earthen tones, And its abstract profile refutes any relationship with neighboring buildings. But this figural Landscape-the "mesa," as the building is known to the locals-contains a complex and finely tuned Program. The richness of the building stems from this contradiction, from the meeting of mesa And machine." will bruder is an artist/architect who has worked for the past twenty-five years From a desert studio in new river, arizona. His architecture is a search for pragmatic and poetic Solutions to site opportunities and user needs, craftsman-like in its concern for detail and process, Sculptural in its blending of materials, space, and light. Most of bruder's more than 400 commissions Have celebrated the craft of building in ways not typical in contemporary architecture today. He believes architecture is the celebration of listening in the service of the human spirit and senses.
