Explores the work of Boston-based Leers Weinzapfel Associates since 2011.
Somewhere, Something, Someone, the second monograph of Boston-based architecture firm Leers Weinzapfel Associates since its formation in 1982, captures the essence of their unique practice. It addresses the power of place, making, and human needs in architecture and the integral link between them. In one sense, this book assumes the form of a traditional architectural monograph, highlighting projects with interludes by guest contributors. In another sense, it adopts the attitude of a self-portrait, a more personal narrative that explores LWA’s collaborative practice as an unfinished continuum.
Leers Weinzapfel Associates present fifteen of their recent architectural projects since 2011 through photography, diagrams, drawings, and supportive texts and annotations. Somewhere, Something, Someone functions both as the book’s title and organizing principle. Essays contributed by Jeanne Gang, Thom Mayne, Adele Santos, and other fellow architects, with a conversation on mass timber construction round off this volume.
