A monograph on the work of San Francisco architect Olle Lundberg, with a foreword by Andy Goldsworthy.
Lundberg Design is an award-winning architectural firm based in the Dogpatch neighborhood in San Francisco. Founded by Olle Lundberg in 1987, the studio focuses on the notion of craft-the unique piece or project handmade for just that client-and the use of recycled materials and objects. This illuminating book traces Lundberg's personal and architectural journey, from his experience as a young University of Virginia student to becoming the go-to architect for the Bay Area's digital elite, in addition to his obsession with materials and how his studio pushes them to their limits.
Explore these lush, photo-rich pages to read Lundberg's personal narrative, take a deep dive into his preferred material palettes-metal, stone, glass, wood, and objects-and learn about the planning and execution of five outstanding projects:
•
Rolling Wall Museum
•
Curly's Cove
•
