"Located in New York City since 1972, Peter L. Gluck and Partners is known for its integrity of design and sensitivity to the relationship between architectural form and context. Rather than specializing in a particular building type or specific architectural style, the firm provides appropriate responses to often difficult and conflicting requirements, and has designed buildings throughout the United States, ranging from houses, schools, religious buildings, and community centers to hotels, corporate interiors, university buildings, and historic restorations. This extensive overview of the firm's practice includes architectural drawings, digital and physical models, and photographs of finished projects."--Jacket.
