Modern Beyond Style and the Pursuit of Beauty: Booth Hansen and the Architecture of Laurence Booth

Modern Beyond Style and the Pursuit of Beauty: Booth Hansen and the Architecture of Laurence Booth provides a window into the creative process as one architect sought to renew modern design by freeing it from stylistic rigidity. Laurence Booth’s journey is rooted in careful attention to process and systems including his set of “compass points” that assures the project’s clients and designers are driven by common values. Upon this foundation, Booth’s innovative designs create richness of spirit through shared memory and create beauty through harmonies between form and function. His designs have helped carve a path for original contemporary architectural design of the early 21st century that is marked not by a standard style but by shared values.
