Volume 2 &ndash; <strong><em>Recent Work<\/em><\/strong> presents 15 of Johnson&rsquo;s projects with Perkins&amp;Will from 2012 to 2024. An interview between Cramer and Johnson explores the architect&rsquo;s design philosophy, and an essay by Thomas Fisher delves deeper into Johnson&rsquo;s work. These recent projects are illustrated with photography, site plans, and drawings, and accompanied by insightful narratives. Varying in typology and location, the projects include Shanghai Nature Museum, U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, Northtown Library and Housing, and CTA Damen Green Line Station, among others.<br \/>\nThe significance of these projects is underpinned by Johnson&rsquo;s deep-held respect for humanistic values, and his emphasis on process, rather than preconceived product, which allows him to respond to diverse cultures and urban conditions. This distinguished monograph is a comprehensive account of Johnson&rsquo;s enduring career and his impressive folio of work. It sits comfortably in the heady realm of Images&rsquo; highly regarded <em>21st Century Masters<\/em> series, which celebrates international juggernauts in the fields of architecture and design<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Architect Ralph Johnson&rsquo;s work spans a magnificent range of award-winning projects in terms of both location and program types.
