From its inception in 1953, the firm has established a global reputation for combining vision with practical development in three key areas: urban architecture, community revitalisation and suburban mixed-use projects. In fact, John Portman and Associates is largely resposible for establishing the benchmark for urban revitalisation. Major areas of practice featured in this book include mixed-use architecture, hospitality, education and corporate - not just in the USA but around the world. The buildings designed by John Portman and Associates have received numerous accolades, and many of those designs featurein this attractive casebound volume.
