Summary

This monograph highlights the evolution of Carlson's work from the early Larry's Markets to projects currently in design. For Carlson, each new project is an opportunity to stretch the design envelope and to experiment with materials and shapes that expand the art and craft of the firm's work. From this open-minded, idea-based design approach, the work of Carlson Architects continues to explore, invent, and evolve.
