Five North American Architects brings together five architectural practices that, while all distinct, share a particular sensibility for the impact of craftsmanship and climate on the generation of form, as well as a concern for the expressive tactility of material and the effect of light on the articulation of structure.
Designed with a passion for detail, the book offers an indepth survey of recent work by Steven Holl (New York), Rick Joy (Tucson), John and Patricia Patkau (Vancouver), Stanley Saitowitz (San Francisco), and Brigitte Shim and Howard Sutcliffe (Toronto).
The regional specificity of the work is considered against a larger North American context, allowing one to assess the practice of its architecture today.

本書は北アメリカの5人の建築家による5つの実例を収録。
細部まで注意を払い、Steven Holl (ニューヨーク), Rick Joy (トゥーソン), John&Patricia Patkau (バンクーバー), Stanley Saitowitz (サンフランシスコ), Brigitte Shim&Howard Sutcliffe (トロント)の近年の仕事を徹底解析する。
