From the book jacket: "Ornament is currently acquiring a new status in architecture. Parametric design and digital production of building components are radically altering its role. The free forms of ornament are no longer antithetical to the constructive geometry of a building; rather, both are designed and produced according to the same logic and using the same tools. The old opposition between structure and ornament has been eliminated. This opens up a wealth of new possibilities of interaction between function and decoration, volume and surface, load-bearing structure and building skin."

"Quality waterfront access has finally come to the East Side of Manhattan. Following 9/11, when the Lower Manhattan community was given millions of dollars in federal grants to rebuild, one of the top priorities was the new two-mile East River Esplanade, running from the Battery to Williamsburg Bridge. The right bank of the river has long been neglected, cut off by Robert Moses’ FDR Drive. SHoP has sought to reconnect the water and the city by activating the underside of the overpass itself while repurposing the piers and moorings of old for the active enjoyment of bikers, strollers, shoppers and sitters."
