Powers Brown Architecture

Founded in 1999 by Joe Powers and Jeffery Brown, Powers Brown Architecture is still a relatively young firm. Still, it has achieved notoriety with an impressive aray of awards for architecture, urban design and interior design. This book examines the firm's quest to explore the separation of form and image by exploiting the forces that produce the status quo. With each project, the firm strives to comment on, heighten reaction to, and question the perceived cultural landscape. Among the featured projects are the METRO Light Rail Facility in Houston, the Resident Agents office building for the FBI and McAllen and the RTRON Corporate Headquarters in Stafford, all recently completed in Texas. Introduction by Michael Rotondi.
