Established in 1965, Hartman-Cox has continuously produced award-winning, imaginative and responsible design for institutional, educational and civic clients. Its success is driven by its six partners, all of whom are actively engaged in the design and management of the projects in a highly collaborative environment. Hartman-Cox is particularly noted for its sensitivity and response to site and context, as well as its stylistic flexibility, which has consistently created buildings that are carefully tailored to their surroundings and their function. The firm has won more than 110 design awards, including six American Institute of Architects honour awards and the American Institute of Architects firm award, the highest honour the AIA bestows on a firm for design. Over the years, the architecture of Washington DC has shaped the firm's work and, according to some, the firm has been instrumental in shaping contemporary Washington architecture. The firm has now executed close to 25 major commissions in

Among the late-twentieth-century architectural firms which tired of Modernism and decided to follow other paths such as Post-Modernism and Traditionalism, Hartman-Cox was one of the pioneers. This book is a lovely coffee-table edition to promote their work, as are most monographs of living architects and their firms. Unlike some of these books which seem to be long on photographs and short on actual projects, this book covers a very wide range of projects done in an equally wide range of architectural styles. Many of these projects were executed as additions to prominent buildings or within the historical context of other, surviving prominent buildings. Hartman-Cox takes the approach of designing in context with excellent quality and detail. They stand in sharp contrast with Modernists who insist on contrasting new work with old in the strongest possible manner. Along with the many volumes produced by their colleague, Robert Stern, this book should find its place in an architectural library which attempts to have a well-rounded coverage of the torrent of architectural construction of the late twentieth century.

Hartman-Cox are best known for their academic projects, and most of their best recent projects are featured in this lovely monograph.

Absolutely beautiful projects for such institutions as Case Western Reserve University, Tulane University, Washington University, and Duke University firmly fix this firm in the upper ranks of pure classical revival practitioners. The firm's work can be interpreted, sometimes, as shameless imitation, or it can be interpreted as seamless blending. I prefer to understand their work in the latter context - as design that complements and enhances existing styles. In fact, that's the concept which gets them hired! They are often called upon to complete sections of earlier classical master plans. Physical endurance is built into their designs while maintaining LEED standards.

To call Hartman-Cox "postmodern" is a serious mislabeling. They are pure classicists, working in Greek, Gothic, and Georgian vocabularies. Some architects refer to them as a product of the "Washington, DC style," whatever that is.

The book itself features about 20 of their most sophisticated designs. The book is smaller than you might imagine from the price, but the quality is outstanding. Each project is presented in text - from concept through construction - plans, elevations, renderings and beautiful interior and exterior photographs of the finished buildings. The book presents the kind of quality commiserate with the firm's work.

While just a slight step short of such monumental portfolios as those published for Robert A. M. Stern, this book offers a beautiful study of what traditional architecture should be. I recommend this book to enthusiasts of traditional academic architecture, practicing neo-classicists, architectural historians, and serious students of neo-classical design. Modernists and post-modernists will find much to belittle in these pages, though a few of the firm's early modern works are discussed.
