Description:

Publication documenting renowned post-modern architect Michael Graves and the summer pavilion for the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. Written by architecture historian and critic Jayne Merkel, the book begins with a history of other outdoor music structures and the decision to build on the river site. Merkel discusses Graves' development as a leader of the post-modern movement and draws upon his sources in ancient amphitheaters, as well as his other structures in Portland, Louisville, and San Juan Capistrano. The book also includes an in-depth interview with Graves and a chapter on the "state of the art" acoustics and the collaboration between architect Graves and artist Ted Schmidt which resulted in the unique cut-out sculptures adorning the roof line of Riverbend. AFA Award winner for Design Excellence. 104 pp, color cover, 8 color plates, 47 black and white images, annotated bibliography.
