Eric Owen Moss Projects and Designs #2 by Brad Collins
My more in depth research is dedicated to Eric Owen Moss. As I was looking for my first two subjects in the Architecture Library I came upon several books that held his name. I first looked at his Projects and Designs book and from seeing those designs; I decided to dive further into the life of the man. He was born and raised in Los Angeles, California which is where he also started his career attending the University of California in 1965. From there he went on to the Barkley College of Environmental design to earn his Masters of Architecture in 1968. He then went to the Harvard School of Design and earned his second Masters of Architecture in 1972. He spent the years revitalizing a once defunct industrial tract in Culiver City, California. His work there showed his innovation in building techniques and his passion for constructing a community and promoting job creation. In The Uncertainty of Doing he was described by the author in this statement: “It is impossible, by examining his work chronologically, to find an evolutionary logic to it.” With that statement I give you works of his that I found the most unique.
All of the following pictures were referenced in the book Projects and Designs #2 but the pictures were found on the internet.
