Hariri and Hariri Houses

by Gisue Hariri

Hariri and Hariri Houses Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Since starting their practice in 1986, Iranian-born, American-educated sisters Gisue and Mojgan Hariri have earned widespread praise for their ambitious body of work. Their up-to-the-minute recasting of classical modernist principles has made them a source of continuing inspiration to design students and professionals alike. Over the course of recent years, the Hariris' portfolio has expanded from small-scale commissions to widely celebrated projects, including the much lauded "Digital House" and the first house to be completed at The Houses at Sagaponac, the ambitious Hamptons development. Among the projects featured in Hariri & Hariri: Housesillustrated in plans, drawings, and splendid full-color photographyare a new house for the AQUA development in Miami Beach; spectacular urban renovations in New York City; and magnificent new houses across the country, as well as international projects, all of which demonstrate the ability of the Hariris to combine modernist rigor with what New Yorker architecture critic Paul Goldberger identified as an "understanding of the patterns of everyday life."

Book News Annotation:

Architects Gisue and Mojgan Hariri present 15 of their residential projects, along with an essay by writer John Brehm and an introduction by architecture critic Paul Goldberger. The projects illustrate the modernist style of their house designs in places such as New York, California, and the Netherlands. Floor plans, one and two-page color photos of the inside and outside of houses, and descriptions of the style of each design make up the volume. The book lacks an index. Its dimensions are 11.5x11.5".
