Full Description
The Middle Front is the first-ever monograph on La Dallman Architects, a Milwaukee-based firm with offices also in Boston and Miami. Lavishly illustrated, it articulates a profound architectural stance amid the extremes of radical innovation and banal convention. The firm's founding principles Grace La and James Dallman explore this middle ground through designs that navigate between avant-garde aesthetics and pragmatic solutions.
Their reflective book - born from their formative years and experiences at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, and subsequent practice in Milwaukee, Wisconsin - rejects both the spectacle of the avant-garde and the ubiquity of conventional forms. It engages with architecture's potential in a complex world, seeking a balanced, inclusive disciplinary approach. The Middle Front unfolds through essays and featured projects, demonstrating La Dallman Architect's commitment to a nuanced, contextually responsive architecture that embraces the challenges and opportunities of urban and environmental complexities. It invites a re-examination of architectural practice, advocating for a responsive, thoughtful approach that values depth and connection over mere novelty or tradition.
