Reveal Filter Evolve Effect
"FXFOWLE is at the forefront of a movement that is systematically dissolving the boundary between the built and the natural, deliberately embracing a new scope for the designer and inventing formal strategies that produce environments as much as they shape individual buildings."
– Kent Kleinman, Gale and Ira Drukier Dean of Cornell University's College of Architecture, Art, and Planning
Reveal Filter Evolve Effect celebrates key concepts that define FXFOWLE's creative philosophy and design methodology. FXFOWLE has defined a practice in relation to the precepts of design and the principles of the environment, whether natural or constructed. Urbanism, technology, and sustainable strategies provide the context within which the firm has operated for more than 37 years. Emerging from an individual structure or a series of buildings, these concepts sustain the culture, the process, and the design approach of the firm; they likewise organize the works and projects presented in this four-volume publication. The Monograph's four terms crystallize the shared body of ideas that motivate FXFOWLE's design work–from individual structures to city plans.
Published by ORO Editions, Reveal Filter Evolve Effect is co-edited by Andrea Monfried, written by Liz Campbell Kelly, and features essays from leading deans in architecture schools, including Kenneth Schwartz (Tulane School of Architecture), Kim Tanzer (University of Virginia: School of Architecture), Kent Kleinman (Cornell University: College of Architecture), and Thomas Fisher (University of Minnesota: College of Architecture).
