A new architectural style emerges when similarities of form, material, interest, or attitude in the designs of a group of architects become prevalent enough to earn their own identity. Such is the recently heralded rise of the Pacific Northwest school, best represented by the work of David Miller and Robert Hull. Miller/Hull's energy-conscious designs combine with a love of local materials and structural expressiveness to define the essence of the Pacific Northwest style. Here, where climate plays such a critical role, each Miller/Hull building responds with simple but inventive forms, straightforward plans, sensible siting, and careful detailing. Miller/Hull is the only comprehensive monograph of the architects' practice, which spans civic buildings, office and retail structures, educational and institutional projects, and their award-winning houses. Author Sheri Olson traces Miller/Hull's work through twenty-six projects; color photographs and drawings beautifully capture the light and structural simplicity of their work. "I had to say that I wasn't aware of the work by the Miller Hull Partnership, a Seattle based firm established in 1977, until we received this book from Princeton Architectural Press. The book, a sequel to the 2001 monograph by the same publishing house, shows a selection of recent projects in a good format, with clear drawings and good photos. The projects cover both residential and public works, such as the Willamette River Water Treatment Plant a wonderful project, which doubles as a park with picnic areas. The rest of the works of the firm have a clear signature when it comes to materials and structural solutions, with transparency as something in common. I recommend this book for both its clear presentation and the quality of the works by the firm." --Arch Daily "This volume profiles 12 public buildings designed by the Miller Hull Partnership -- the Pacific Northwest architectural firm founded in 1977 by David Miller and Bob Hull that is known for its approach to sustainable design and the integration and visibility of building systems, energy, material, and landscape. The volume is copiously illustrated with color photographs and other illustrations." --Book New Inc. "...an impressive collection of projects, as delivered in an equally impressive monograph, exhibiting the nature centres, community centres, administration buildings, power plant facilities, and urban residential lofts that have represented a significant percentage of the work being done by their office in its most recent years... this new Princeton Architectural publication provide us with a glimpse into the world of one of the many vibrant architectural practices of the Pacific Northwest, and a model of how architecture can be locally responsive to material and climate, while providing environmentally responsible solutions to public building programs." --re:place Magazine Sheri Olsen an architect and writer, is a contributing editor of Architectural Record and the Seattle Times Pacific Northwest Magazine.
