Joe Valerio
Valerio Dewalt Train : Architecture
Description:... This new monograph features thirteen projects by Joe Valerio, a highly innovative Chicago-based architect who has completed residential and commercial projects throughout the U.S. By way of explaining the processes at work in the creation of his particular brand of updated modernism, Valerio cites works of various visual artists--including Jasper Johns, Roger Brown, and Cindy Sherman--who have influenced him. The result is a unique collage of art and architecture that departs from the conventional monograph form to give a refreshing and multilayered discourse combining architecture, painting, photography, and innovative graphic design. Notable projects include the U.S. Robotics PCD headquarters and the NBC studio for the Democratic national convention, both in Chicago. Malcolm Holzman is a principal in Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates.
