“This beautifully illustrated volume celebrates one of America's finest architects. Jacobsen's projects, located in the U.S. and abroad, have earned more than 93 design awards, including six National Honor Awards from The American Institute of Architects. This book, which continues the coverage of Jacobsen's work begun in Volume I, includes photographs, drawings, and descriptions of 27 new projects designed by the architect since 1988. Together the two books showcase the complete body of work of this premier architect.

An astute introduction by Chicago architect, Stanley Tigerman, ties Jacobsen's work to America's past and its challenges. Designer Massimo Vignelli and photographer Robert Lautman have added their considerable talents to the production of this book.
All 260 photographs are in color, accompanied by 78 architectural plans and sections. Six truly classical ink renderings by Howard Associates beautifully illustrate the architect's latest work in progress.

Robert Lautman's photographs of Jacobsen's work have been published regularly in nearly every professional journal as well as numerous and important books and magazines both here and abroad. For nearly 35 years these two men have worked together. Mr. Lautman's artistry has beautifully recorded this alliance of diverse talents.” - from the dust jacket flap
