Join us for a conversation with Dean Emeritus Amale Andraos and Dan Wood of WorkAC, who will present their latest book Buildings for People and Plants during the Library is Open 24.

Buildings for People and Plants by WORKac is a thoughtfully curated architectural exploration by Amale Andraos and Dan Wood, the New York-based design firm’s co-founders. The compelling volume, featuring ten of WORKac’s most recent projects, such as the North Boulder Library, the Rhode Island School of Design’s Student Success Center, and the Miami Museum Garage, navigates through the interconnected realms of architecture, environment, and social sustainability.

The book an introductory essay by Andraos and Wood and a visual presentation that showcases how their architectural projects engage with their specific cultural and environmental contexts to support both people and plants. It also includes a conversation with the two architects, conducted by the Orange County Museum of Art’s director Heidi Zuckerman, a critical essay by architecture critic Nicolai Ouroussoff, and an appendix with detailed information on the featured projects round out this volume. It is a visual treat that extends the narrative of their previous book, WORKac: We’ll Get There When We Cross That Bridge, and showcases their latest explorations in architecture and community-centric design.
