An up-to-date account of the work of John McAslan + Partners, one of Britain's most respected and dynamic architectural practices. Architecture Matters explores the work of the McAslan studio through a series of thematic chapters that include detailed, fully illustrated descriptions of many recent and ongoing projects around the world. Edited by architectural critic Kenneth Powell, with an insightful foreword by Professor Kenneth Frampton and with contributions by architectural specialists as well as individuals from public life who have become engaged with the initiatives of the McAslan practice - such as broadcaster Jon Snow, newspaper editor, columnist and author Sir Simon Jenkins, promoter of the visual and performing arts Richard Demarco, and Labour Party peer Lord Griffiths of Pembrey and Burry Port, a specialist in Haiti and world development - this beautifully designed and fascinating book examines the development and philosophy of one of the world's most diverse and socially engaged architectural practices.
