"Few design firms are as celebrated as San Antonio-based Lake/Flato Architects, the winners of more than three hundred international, national, and regional awards, including the American Institute of Architects' Firm of the Year Award. This book features the firm's large-scale pursuits: arresting, airy, and sustainable public buildings. Featuring eighty-seven stunning color photographs, Lake/Flato explores sixteen recent projects from across the United States.
