This study tells the story of one of America’s most gifted architects of the postwar years.
During a career that spanned half a century from the 1930s to the 1980s, Weese produced a large number of significant designs ranging from small but highly inventive houses to large urban scale commissions like the Washington, D.C., Metro system. Although influenced to some degree by the rational, and often austere, work of European modernists like Mies van der Rohe, in most of his own oeuvre Weese instead followed the example of Nordic architects like Gunnar Asplund and Alvar Aalto in favoring natural materials, human scale, and comfort; his work was characterized by a deep respect for older buildings and existing urban patterns and a fondness for unexpected, often idiosyncratic design decisions.
This book takes its place within a fast-growing revival of interest in the work of Weese and a number of his friends and contemporaries with shared assumptions and sensibilities, notably Eero Saarinen, Edward Larrabee Barnes, I. M. Pei, Ralph Rapson, and Paul Rudolph. As important as Weese’s buildings were, though, they were only one part of what almost all his contemporaries recognized as his seemingly inexhaustible creativity. Because Weese believed that design was essentially problem-solving, he was willing to apply his skills to everything from a piece of furniture to an entire city. The city on which he lavished the most attention was his own city, Chicago, where he seemed to be everywhere at once, praising, criticizing, cheerleading, and pouring out ideas for creating a humane and livable place for citizens of all walks of life.

这项研究讲述了战后美国最有天赋的建筑师之一的故事。在从20世纪30年代到80年代跨越半个世纪的职业生涯中，Weese 设计了大量重要的设计，从小但极具创造力的房子到大型城市规模的委员会，如华盛顿特区的地铁系统。尽管在某种程度上受到欧洲现代主义者(如路德维希·密斯·凡德罗)理性而朴素的作品的影响，但在他自己的大部分作品中，韦斯却效仿了像贡纳 · 阿斯普隆德(Gunnar Asplund)和阿尔瓦 · 阿尔托(Alvar Aalto)这样的北欧建筑师，青睐自然材料、人体尺度和舒适度，他的作品拥有属性对老建筑和现有城市模式的深深尊重，以及对意想不到的、往往独特的设计决策的喜爱。这本书在 Weese 和他的一些朋友以及同时代的人的作品中占有一席之地，他们都有着共同的假设和情感，尤其是 Eero Saarinen，Edward Larrabee Barnes，I.M。裴，Ralph Rapson 和 Paul Rudolph。尽管 Weese 的建筑很重要，但它们只是几乎所有同时代人所认可的 Weese 看似无穷无尽的创造力的一部分。因为 Weese 相信设计本质上是解决问题的，所以他愿意将他的技能应用到从一件家具到整个城市的任何事情上。他最关注的城市是他自己的城市，芝加哥，在那里，他似乎无处不在，赞扬，批评，鼓舞，倾吐想法，为各行各业的公民创造一个人性化和宜居的地方。56种颜色和120黑白插图
