What separates good architecture from great architecture? The difference lies in the details. The way an architect chooses to treat architectural detailing-screens and walls, doors and windows, roofs, bridges, and stairs-can transform the merely ordinary into the extraordinary. Detail in Process, the second volume in the new AsBuilt series, features twenty-five awe-inspiring projects characterized by an unusual synthesis of aesthetics and materials: the sunshade at Morphosis's Student Recreation Center in Cincinnati; the embossed and perforated copper skin of Herzog - de Meuron's de Young Museum in San Francisco; the handrails at Mir' Rivera Architects', Lake Austin Footbridge in Austin; the stairs at Heatherwick Studio's, Longchamp Store in New York City; plus twenty more.
