Global Citizen: The Architecture of Moshe Safdie Hardcover - 2015

by Donald Albrecht; Sarah Williams Goldhagen

From the publisher

  • Includes photography by award-winning photographer Gus Powell, and scholarship on Safdie's work by leading scholars
  • Explores the buildings of a renowned architect and the philosophy that shapes them
  • The book accompanies a touring show, going to two US venues: September 10, 2015 January 10, 2016, National Academy Museum, New York, New York, and February 15, 2016 - May 13, 2016, BSA Space, Boston Society of Architects, Boston, Massachusetts

Today, as architecture is reasserting its role in popular culture, the architect Moshe Safdie's buildings are exemplars of what has been be termed 'progressive contextualism' - an important way of thinking globally about building.

Accompanying a traveling exhibition, Global Citizen: The Architecture of Moshe Safdie explores this renowned architect's buildings and the philosophy that shapes them. Safdie's canonical works combine the social activism and advanced technologies of modernism, with profound respect for historical and regional context. This elegantly designed book features stunning photography and essays examining Safdie's role in the move toward architectural globalization, as well as his use of architecture as a medium for political, religious and cultural agendas. The catalogue also features a unique illustrated essay by Safdie examining the architect's thoughts on the future of the global city at the start of the 21st century.
