More Description

"Architecture and Sensuality" is an architectural monograph covering the impressive body of work accrued by Andrew Bromberg, the leading young designer from Aedas Hong Kong. His designs, many of which are still under construction, stand out as fluid and sculptural works, sublimely poised within the emerging areas of China and the Middle East. This book focuses on three distinct approaches of design: 'Challenging Conventions', 'Civic Approach' and 'Contextualism'. However, all the projects share the traits described in the three approaches at various levels. With particular attention paid to projects in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, this is a unique peek at a prestigious practice. AUTHOR: Andrew Bromberg is the lead designer for Aedas, one of the world's largest architectural firms. He is recognized for his intuitive ability to conceptualize and realize complex design. With 15 years of professional experience, Bromberg has used invited competitions as a way of exploring and exposing new ideas. Boasting a curvilinear formal vocabulary of bulges, twists, and sweeps, Bromberg's sensually shaped buildings are the manifestation of an intellectual and material struggle through which type and structure are transformed by design. With many projects under construction or in the works, Andrew Bromberg has become one of the most prolific and sought-after designers in China, India, and the United Arab Emirates.
