Saucier Perotte Architectes, 1995-2002 showcases and illustrates the French Canadian architectural projects of Saucier Perrotte over a seven year span. A mixture of black-and-white and color diagrams and photographs form the highlight of this journal, which is largely wordless except for a smattering of introductory and commentary essays. Saucier Perotte Architectes, 1995-2002 prefers to let the bold images and floor plans speak for themselves, and is an inspirational tour of this remarkable team's style, especially distinguished by its prevalence of sharp edges, box shapes, and corners.
