Founded in 2006, Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture has quickly positioned itself at the forefront of international architecture. This initial volume of the firm's work showcases their innovative approach to architecture, an approach that examines the synergies between the natural and built environments and places performance at the core of every design. In its short history, Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill's work has included myriad typologies and pioneering firsts, including some of the earth's tallest skyscrapers, the highest performing and most efficient buildings, along with master plans and energy platforms for 21st century cities. With each project, Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill seek to elevate both the artistic and scientific parameters of architecture, resulting in groundbreaking design language in which "form follows performance." 600 colour
