A Design Assignment |
| Paul W.T. Pippin |
| A Design Assignment is a comprehensive book that takes the reader beyond the world of standard architectural design and into the unique facade construction of the Secretariat Building of the United Nations Headquarters. An accomplished architect, Paul W.T. Pippin developed 16 schemes with details through study models for the East-West facade. The author, who studied with Mies van der Rohe and Eliel Saarinen, shares his extensive knowledge and experience in this highly informative, fact-filled book.
A Design Assignment presents an overview of the technique of using study models to develop architectural designs. Numerous photographs, as well as accompanying information, provide the reader with a clear understanding of the facades that could be utilized in the actual design. To emphasize each scheme, Mr. Pippin includes additional photographs that enlarge the distinctive elevation components. In the final analysis, there is a comparison of photographs of the models with the actual "as-built" Secretariat Building, allowing the reader to determine which elements of Mr. Pippin's models were actually implemented in its final design.
