First Edition of Richard Meier Architect 3; Inscribed by Meier and Signed by Kenneth Frampton

First edition regarding the work of architect Richard Meier. Square quarto, original cloth, with over 650 illustrations. Presentation copy, inscribed by Richard Meier on the half-title page. Also signed by Kenneth Frampton on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Essays by Kenneth Frampton and Joseph Rykwert.

Richard Meier won both the Pritzker Prize (1984) and the AIA Gold Medal (1997). He has built the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art, the City Hall and Central Library, and The Hague Getty Center, Los Angeles. Meier builds onto the style of the mid-20th century architects. The early work of Le Corbusier is a particular inspiration, and most of Meier's work has been inspired by Corbusier's idea, more at least, than anyone. Of course, Meier expanded from his predecessor. Some examples are the Villa Savoye and the Swiss Pavilion.
