In celebration of the firm’s 30 year history, the portfolio of David M. Schwarz is now the subject of an online exhibition created by Dean Sakamoto Architects and sponsored by the National Building Museum, the Institute of Classical Architecture and Classical America, and the University of Notre Dame School of Architecture. For People and Places: The Work of David M. Schwarz Architects is an examination of 30 Schwarz projects that have positively affected the built environment. Through videos, photos, and renderings, projects such as Bass Performance Hall, the Yale Environmental Sciences Center, the Chase Building, and more are explored, showing the ways in which Schwarz’s “liberal traditionalism” creates spaces and architecture which enhance the public realm.

For the further curious, there are a couple of books on Schwarz. Due for reprinting on October 25 is David M. Schwarz/Architectural Services which chronicles the firm’s built projects. The book was written by Bradford McKee with a preface by Vincent Scully and an introduction by Robert A. M. Stern. A new book, David M. Schwarz Architects: 2002–2008, by Robert L. Miller, is also out.

    Hi Kevin!

    Actually, the link you have here is to the reprint of the first edition.

    The new books is called “David M. Schwarz Architects 2002 - 2007″ and is written by Robert Miller with a Preface by David Schwarz.

    Also, Robert Stern did not write the first book, he wrote Introduction. Vincent Scully wrote the Preface and Bradford McKee wrote the project text.

    Thanks!

    Katie,

    Thanks for the link to the new book. I was unable to find it online. Funnily enough, Brad McKee got in touch with me earlier about the first book, and I’ve already made the corrections in the post.

    Thanks for the heads-up. Big fan of the firm. Keep up the great work!
