FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Architecture influences the way we live and the way we live influences architecture. Lorcan OHerlihy Architects - Architecture Is a Social Act explores these two ideas at the core of LOHAs work and shows how one informs the other. The book features 25 projects from across two decades and two continents, ranging in scope from housing projects and commercial complexes to cultural landmarks and master-planned communities. Each project demonstrates how the firm responds to the political, economic, and environmental forces that are shaping todays cities by crafting architecture that offers a sense of place and belonging in a rapidly changing world. Author Biography Lorcan OHerlihy, founder and principal of LOHA, seeks opportunities to engage the ever-changing complexities of the urban landscape while embracing architecture as a catalyst of change. His professional practice has run in parallel to his academic and intellectual pursuits, enriching and heightening both.
