Publisher's Synopsis
While this is the third monograph on the work of the prolific Washington, DC based architectural firm, David M. Schwarz Architects, this book, unlike the previous two, features essays by different authors on each of the 25 new projects included in this book. The range of the work presented is broad, from concert halls, to civic buildings to a private home.
