SPARANO + MOONEY ARCHITECTURE: A WAY OF WORKING

Sparano + Mooney Architecture is a community of architects and craftspeople in the American West, celebrating 25 years of great design in 2022. In honor of the firm’s portfolio, a monograph titled Sparano + Mooney Architecture: A Way of Working has been published by Hatje Cantz (Berlin).

Available for purchase now, the book highlights the dialogue between concept and location found in the firm’s work, as well as the architects’ commitment to sustainable and innovative buildings that are embedded harmoniously into spectacular mountain landscapes. The team's architectural solutions are rooted in tradition and history while also embracing cutting-edge technology, materials and details to reflect and elevate the broad communities the architecture serves. The studio’s collaborative process responds to overwhelming natural surroundings with restrained forms and innovative detailing of materials. This first monograph of the firm’s work offers an insightful perspective on developing architecture that thrives on – and is grounded within – the relationship between concept and place.

Sparano + Mooney Architecture: A Way of Working explores this central question and to detail the firm’s heuristic design process. Ten key projects and associated images, drawings and a series of essays are presented, which tie the work to vernacular ideals and land art. Finding meaningfulness in everyday materials rendered extraordinary through creativity and craft, the book investigates what it means to work within the context of the American West.

The firm is delighted to have had the opportunity to collaborate with many individuals on the production of this book, a tactile object in its own right. Contributors include acclaimed architecture author Michael Webb and art historian Hikmet Sidney Loe, with graphic design by Salt Lake City-based Studio Michael Aberman. Project management and production was provided by Dorothee Hahn and Stefanie Kruszyk, respectively, at Hatje Cantz Berlin.

The team at Sparano + Mooney Architecture is thrilled to present this publication as a record of its dedication to the profession, and the tireless pursuit of great design.
