The debut publication on one of the American West’s foremost architectural firms
Recognized as one of the top architecture firms in the world working in mountain settings, Sparano + Mooney Architecture is a leading American practice with offices in Los Angeles and Salt Lake City. Its buildings can be found throughout California, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico and beyond. The firm works at multiple scales, from micro off-the-grid projects, to new-build work and adaptive reuse of historic and midcentury modern structures, to new institutional, cultural and worship buildings, mixed-use, master planning and urban design projects. Since the firm’s founding in 1996, its work has earned it more than 50 design awards, and has been featured in publications and exhibitions around the world. This first monograph of the firm’s work presents 10 projects through images, drawings and a series of essays that tie the work to vernacular ideals and land art. Finding meaningfulness in everyday materials rendered extraordinary through creativity and craft, the book investigates what it means to work within the context of the American West.
