Profile Series 1 Box Set includes: ?New York Hall of Science ?William J. Clinton Presidential Center and Park ?Heimbold Visual Arts Center ?Brooklyn Museum, Entry Pavilion and Plaza The Profile Series is comprised of books on single buildings, which together communicate the firm's sensibilities. Corresponding to Ennead Architects' philosophy of creating a singular and appropriate architectural response to the particular program, site, and client conditions, each book is itself a distinct reflection of the individual building and its makers. The designer of the building is deeply involved in the book's design and evolution: the building is translated, shared and re-explored for the reader from the intimate perspective of the architect who designed it. The result is a presentation of architecture that is fresh, at times messy and never didactic. Published in sets, each title/book in the Profile Series is the definitive, comprehensive presentation of the design process of a single building by its architect. Exploring the relationship between design intentions and their ultimate realization, these books will appeal to architects, students and architecture buffs. Known for powerful building designs for cultural, educational, scientific and not-for-profit institutions, Ennead Architects, formerly Partnership Polshek, is a 150-person New York City firm. Projects have been published internationally and recognized with numerous awards for design excellence. The firm's research-based design process sponsors the creation of signature building designs that are expressive of an institution's philosophy and vision and address each project's unique programmatic, technical, aesthetic and environmental issues.
