Winsing AIT Residential Towers

The building creates an elegant gateway for the prestigious Neihu District of Taipei, directly across from the future American Institute in Taiwan (AIT), also in design by MRY. The book features revelatory essays by various contributors, including principal James Mary O’Connor, partner John Ruble, and the renowned critic Philip Jodidio, who writes, "This work is at the edge, not the proverbial cutting edge, but at the limit between history and modernity, between the tough city and privileged views toward the green horizon. Where Charles Moore sought to break the taboos that had separated history from Modernism, MRY today integrates culture (and thus history) in a subtle, profound way with a building that is far more solid than any stage set. This link between the origins of MRY and Winsing AIT is more than a fanciful one, it is the very reason for which this project succeeds in what must be considered a daunting challenge: defining the edge."

Building in Berlin

Each of MRY's Berlin projects has marked an important moment in the history of the city. Tegel Harbor proclaimed humane values at the periphery of the West just before the barriers fell. Berlinerstrasse was intended to reclaim a site that symbolized German civilization and natural beauty before it was brutalized. Kirchsteinfeld and Karow Nord brought an improved standard of living to east Germany. Tiergarten Dreiecke, with its three embassies and CDU HQ, is a major addition to Berlin as the capital of a reunited Germany. Each of these projects has a strong sense of place, developed in response to context, and creating something fresh ...

Houses and Housing

This monograph presents a remarkable body of residential work by MRY. While the architects have achieved international acclaim for a wide spectrum of planning and building types, their vision ad philosophy originated in the design of places for dwelling. Working in close and open collaboration with clients, the architects evolved a uniquely participatory style. Their passion for the concerns of habitation is revealed in works ranging from remodeled California bungalows to housing and town planning in Europe and Japan.

Moore Ruble Yudell

The thirty-seven projects featured here include the award winning projects for Rodes House (Los Angeles), Tegel Harbour Housing and the Humboldt Library (Berlin), and St. Matthew's Church (California). The variety of work reflects the architects' sensitivity to the historical, architectural and natural features of the places where they build, and their concern with balancing the sense of place with the aims and requests of their clients.
