Award-winning firm MDSzerbaty Associates Architecture (MDSA) reflects on past work to explore its use of materiality and the inherent qualities of texture, colour, and light.
Architects design, build, and move on to the next project. How often do they reflect on their decisions and the evolution of their work over time, looking back at the choices they made?
MDSA carefully considers texture, colour, and light, and explores these inherent qualities of materials in its architectural designs. At first sight, they may seem disparate with adjacent elements, but ultimately exhibit a refined and sophisticated appearance.
In Light, Color, Texture: The Work of MDSA MDSzerbaty Associates Architecture, principal Michael D. Szerbaty examines recent works by the firm to provide a reflective reassessment of the impact of light, colour, and texture. Each project contains a discussion revealing how the materials were selected, the decision behind the use of colour, and the deliberate window placement to allow natural lighting. Szerbaty’s review across the selected body of work provides evidence of the firm’s evolutionary approach, and an awareness of how buildings alter in place over time.
With full-colour photography and insightful commentary, this monograph offers an unparalleled opportunity to gain clear and informative insights into the decision-making process of an award-winning architecture firm.
