About the book >.>.> The architecture of Frank Williams celebrates the great tradition of skyscraper design in America which Frank Williams has exported to Asia and beyond. This monograph on Frank Williams & Associates Architects showcases the firm’s design from the tallest hotel and residential building in New York City to projects for the skylines of Bombay Shanghai Bangkok Berlin and Beijing. Recalling the great skyscrapers of the 1920s and 1930s the towers of Frank Williams are romantic in their bold massing and dramatic lighting. His work also responds sensitively to street life creating cases for shopping entertainment and social exchange. As the practice of architecture becomes truly international Frank Williams responds with innovative designs that respect local climate and culture. Today Frank Williams represents the cutting edge in how architects practice around the globe. (MP)
