KUTH / RANIERI ARCHITECTS

In its work, Kuth/Ranieri Architects amplifies the craft of each design. With materials like the translucent glass used to sequence a view from Russian Hill, the constellation of domes used to manipulate sound at an AIDS memorial, and the 800 pounds of synthetic felt and 1,000 C-clamps used to create the Fabrications installation at SFMOMA, the firm brings subtlety and innovation to every project. The latest in our New Voices in Architecture series, Kuth/Ranieri Architects features several built works, including Nob Hill Residence, Park Presidio Residence, Russian Hill Penthouse, William Wurster Renovation, Hillsborough Residence, LEF Foundation Offices / Gallery, Guesthouse / Gallery, and Lodi Bunkhouse. The book also features several projects, including Calistoga House, Malama Learning Village, Contemporary Art Museum at the Presidio, AIDS Memorial Grove, Harvey Milk Memorial Car, Climate Clock, Martyrs' Square, Mission Bay, and Folding Water. Texts by Ila Berman, Mitchell Schwarzer, Rodolphe el-Khoury, and Aaron Betsky discuss issues of modernism, fetish, and meaning.
