This book presents a privileged insight into the design and construction
of the award-winning Thomas P. Murphy Design Studio Building through a
series of interviews with the main professionals responsible for its
conception, design and construction: the lead architects Bernardo
Fort-Brescia, Raymond Fort-Brescia and Thomas Westberg; the builders
Thomas C. Murphy, Erin Murphy, Nick Duke and Jason Anderson; the curtain
wall manufacturers Jose Daes and Carmen L. Guerrero, and the University
of Miami Project Manager, Gary Tarbe. It also offers sumptuous, detailed
photography to provide a thorough understanding of a building that is
not just a brilliant work of architecture in its own right but that also
provides an inspiring, tailor-made environment in which to educate the
architects of the future.
