Publisher Description A major overview of Skylabs built works, from show-stopping residences to high-profile cultural projects, presented via a covetable book design that takes its inspiration from an album or LP. Skylab: The Nature of Buildings is the first monograph of the Portland, Oregon-based architecture and design studio. Founded by Jeff Kovel in 1999, Skylab has emerged as a leading creative force in the Pacific Northwest and North America. At the vanguard of innovative and sustainable design, the practice is known for a range of spectacular residences designed for leading creatives, as well as distinctive music venues, resorts, and other high-profile projects, including the N M Bodecker Foundation, Nikes Serena Williams Building, and the Columbia Building. Presenting more than two decades of work, the story of Skylab is told by several influential contributors through reflective essays, interviews, conversations and anecdotes, as well as extensive project photography and illustrations that detail the firms design process. A uniquely crafted object, the books design is based on the concept of a double vinyl album, with four sides (A, B, C, D), ten projects tracks, inside front- and back-cover gatefolds, and nine project interlude foldout posters in the book. Our work balances on three themes: narrative, strategy, and regeneration, Kovel writes in the books Preface. Narrative is the "what" - a design process based on telling compelling stories. Strategy is the "how" - innovating best practices through construction and market intelligence. Regeneration is the "why" - our north star and the legacy of our work, defined by designing with nature as a partner, seeking to rebalance the relationship with land, time and people. This was the bedrock meaning behind our practice when we started in 1999, and it continues to this day.
