Joe Valerio
This new monograph features thirteen projects by Joe Valerio, a highly innovative Chicago-based architect who has completed residential and commercial projects throughout the U.S. By way of explaining the processes at work in the creation of his particular brand of updated modernism, Valerio cites works of various visual artists--including Jasper Johns, Roger Brown, and Cindy Sherman--who have influenced him. The result is a unique collage of art and architecture that departs from the conventional monograph form to give a refreshing and multilayered discourse combining architecture, painting, photography, and innovative graphic design. Notable projects include the U.S. Robotics PCD headquarters and the NBC studio for the Democratic national convention, both in Chicago. Malcolm Holzman is a principal in Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates.
Pro Sports in 1993
America and Canada both saw historic sports milestones in 1993. While the Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bulls reigned supreme, the Toronto Blue Jays won a second consecutive World Series on a walk-off homer, and the Montreal Canadiens emerged as the last Canadian team to win a Stanley Cup. While stars like Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky and Joe Montana overcame physical and emotional challenges to make history, teams were performing unprecedented feats, from the Buffalo Bills' unrivaled comeback on Wild Card Weekend to the Baltimore Orioles' unveiling of their transformative ballpark design during All-Star Week. Drawing on original interviews with dozens of former players and coaches, this book revisits an exceptional sports year for fans across North America, with memorable stories involving some of the most iconic sports figures of the 1990s.
