The People’s Architect: Carol Ross Barney.
Introduction by Iker Gil. Oscar Riera Ojeda Publishers, 200 pages, $55.
She “works in a wide range of scales and across typologies, always thoughtful, determined, and empathetic,” writes Iker Gill in this 13-work survey-slash-salute to architect Carol Ross Barney published following her AIA Gold Medal win. Indeed, Barney’s gift for designing places and spaces where people congregate en masse truly does run the gamut; showcased in the book are synagogues and elevated transit stations, federal buildings and supersized fast-food flagships, and, as hinted on the cover, transformative urban parks, including the Chicago Riverwalk. — Matt Hickman
