Rick Mather Architects by Robert Maxwell

Rick Mather Architects by Robert Maxwell

The first major monograph to be published on the firm, Rick Mather Architects explores the full scope of the 500 projects that the office has undertaken over the past 33 years. Best known for their award winning museum extensions, such as the Dulwich Picture Gallery and the National Maritime Museum, and their major new expansion to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, USA, which is currently on site and due to complete in 2008, their portfolio spans a broad spectrum of projects including residential and student housing, masterplans, of which the first phase of their masterplan for London's South Bank is nearing completion, including both renovations and new buildings.

Essays by leading architectural historian and former Dean of Architecture at Princeton, Robert Maxwell; architect and structural engineer Tim Macfarlane, renowned for his pioneering work in structural glass; and Patrick Bellew, distinguished for his commitment to 'green' engineering, form the backbone of this comprehensive and illuminating study.

As a firm Rick Mather Architects bridges the space between the street and the interior, the old and the new, infusing their buildings with a distinct architectural identity. They are world renowned for their intuitive sense of place and context, as well as their pioneering technologies in structural glass and sustainable design. Rick Mather Architects draws on Mather's original plans and drawings and does full justice to the firm's unique subtlety.

Robert Maxwell is an architectural critic and educator. Previously Dean of Princeton, he is now resident in the UK.
