Dialogues in Space: Process and Ideas in the Work of Wendell Burnette Architects is the first multi-project monograph on this American architect's selective body of work. The title alludes to the architect's view that architecture is a constructed conversation between people, things, and time. Six singular projects from the architect's oeuvre are presented in-depth through the architect's own words, drawings, and photography. Also included is a comprehensive essay by the celebrated architectural writer/critic Robert McCarter entitled 'Crafting Space: Composition and Construction in the Architecture of Wendell Burnette' that examines the 'thinking and making' process behind the built and un-built work across fifteen years of practice. The different typologies of the work explores authentic human experience through provocative spatial constructions - public and private in diverse locales - that attempt to promote an expansive dialogue with our places, our environment, our communities, ourselves, and our time. Through extensive research into the 'art of building' - the specificity of place and locally appropriate construction systems, materials, craft, and their infinite capacity to transcend mere construction - the work strives toward an architecture that is at once functional and poetic.
