The Architecture of Kallmann McKinnell & Wood
By David Dil

Through four decades, through Modernism, Post-Modernism, Deconstruction, and various modernist revivals,
Kallmann McKinnell & Wood has stuck to a few basic principles. It continues to view buildings as
extensions of the environment rather than as solitary objects in space. This volume is divided into sections
that explore how the firm’s structures relate to their surroundings, whether it be the urban fabric,
the landscape, or the campus. Link to Amazon.com to purchase book
