Discover the 500 projects Rick Mather Architects have undertaken over the past 33 years.

Rick Mather Architects have been practising in London since the early 70s. Best known for their award winning museum extensions such as the Dulwich Picture Gallery and the National Maritime Museum, their portfolio spans a broad spectrum of projects from private residences to academic masterplans and urban design including both renovation and new building. They are world renowned for their intuitive sense of place and context, as well as their pioneering technologies in structural glass and sustainable design.

The book establishes Rick Mather's unique approach to resolving complex design issues on both a large scale and in the fine details, the work of the practice is described in accessible terms through the texts and through a wealth of visual material, including photography and drawings supplied by the practice. Alongside this documentation, the visual aspect is supplemented by the reproduced paintings, maps and drawings from a diverse range of sources, which have inspired and informed the work.

Over the past 33 years, the practice has undertaken 500 projects. These include the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts; the student halls of residence in Norfolk; the Ashmolean Museum extension, Oxford; the masterplanning of London's South Bank Centre; as well as Mather's iconic housing of the 1980s and 90s. This book will cover the full range of the projects, exploring Mather's response to the technical and social requirements of the brief and the way that a US born architect has re-imagined Britian's culture and made it his own.
