STUDIO MONOGRAPH
“When you look at the work of SKOLNICK Architecture + Design, you understand how architecture is about everything, it is not just the art of making shapes that are visually engaging and aesthetically pleasing... it is also the art of living, and of figuring out how physical form can enhance life.”
Skolnick Architecture + Design Partnership: Public/Private is our studio’s first monograph. Published by Pointed Leaf Press, and covering nearly 40 years of work, the book—presented in a unique double-sided, two-cover format—exhibits projects in both the public and private sectors. Included in the public section is a sprawling center for entrepreneurial education, a science center built in an old turbine hall, a light-filled synagogue, two colorful and bright public libraries, and a children’s museum inspired by Leonardo da Vinci. The private side features a serenely spatial six-story townhouse, a sublimely linear beach house, a residence and matching studios for two painters, and luxurious twin villas in Anguilla. Through this juxtaposition, we learn that architecture makes life beautiful by revealing essential stories waiting to be told.
With text by Founding Principal Lee Skolnick, and a foreword by the Pulitzer Prize-winning architectural critic Paul Goldberger; each chapter provides valuable insight into the sensitive planning and highly intellectual process that goes into each project that we create.
