Jennie King Mellon Library, Chatham College

Four large tower structures flank the library building that takes Modernist aesthetics of receeding and protruding cubic elements to a Brutalist extreme. The inverted pyramid scheme and window designs are reminiscent of La Tourette. The monumental stone…

Hügelhaus

Designed as “single family houses on storeys” this cooperative project includes apartments of many sizes to allow for a diverse variety of resident types. Every apartment has its own garden-like terrace. (Special thanks to Alexander Kleinsch…

The craggy, raw exposed concrete exterior is reminiscent of rock structures. The church can house up to 400 people and is complemented by secondary buildings for a parish hall and rectory. The irregular trapezoid floor plan and the diagonal positioning …

Keeling House

Banham took this complex as an example for new trends in building in clusters.
