Overview

"""Richard Manion Architecture creates distinctive residences and estates with a respect for traditional forms and historic imagery adapted to modern living. The curated selection of rarely published projects in this second volume of the firm's work demonstrates RMA's signature style, which draws upon traditional and streamlined classical, regional and contemporary influences to reflect authentic details, proportions, and a sophisticated sense of place for the 21st century. This second book is about the integration of modernism within an overall framework of tradition and heritage, responding to the evolving nature of their clients' programs and lifestyles and my design ideas. Academic studies of European modernism, with its visionary approach and embodiment of the machine age, came back to inspire, but with the understanding that many of its roots could be traced back to the heritage of classical design principles. My goal is to unite ideas about tradition, history, and modernity in a synergy and explore the meaning of shared architectural imagery and heritage for our time."" - Richard Manion SELLING POINTS: .
