Review: "The smallest architectural element can transform an ordinary building into an extraordinary one. Detail in Process further examines the relationship between form and technology explored in the previous volume, Details in Contemporary Architecture. These twenty-five projects expand the vocabulary of contemporary architectural expression by demonstrating the beautiful, daring, unexpected, functional and sustainable ways architects are responding to complicated design challenges. The solutions - at various scales from handrails and sunshades to roof structures and facades - show not only a possibility for seamless integration of theory and practice but also redefine the foundations of the architectural design process."--BOOK JACKET.
