The first box set in the Ennead Profile Series includes the following titles with an in-depth look at each building: New York Hall of Science, William J. Clinton Presidential Center and Park, Heimbold Visual Arts Center, and Brooklyn Museum, Entry Pavilion, and Plaza. These volumes correspond to the Ennead Architects' philosophy of creating a singular and appropriate architectural response to building site and client conditions. Parallel to the architecture story is a guest essay that illuminates an aspect of the building's client, program, or site that informed the design. Guest essays have included poems, speeches, and articles by significant personalities involved on the client-side, or people whose reflections somehow enhance the understanding of the project.

The four-title box set Ennead Profile Series 3 includes the following titles, each profiling an individual building: NY Botanical Garden Pfizer Plant Research Laboratory, UM Biomedical Science Research Building, Brooklyn Museum Sackler Center for Feminist Art, and WGBH Headquarters. The designer of the building is deeply involved in the book's design and evolution: the building is translated, shared, and re-explored for the reader from the intimate perspective of the architect who designed it. The result is a presentation of architecture that is fresh, at times messy, and never didactic.

The fourth box set in the Ennead Profile Series, featuring the recent work of the award-winning architectural firm, Ennead Architects, includes Dickenson School of Law, Frank Sinatra School for the Arts, Newseum, and Standard Hotel. Corresponding to the Ennead Architects' philosophy of creating a singular and appropriate architectural response to the particular program, site, and client conditions, each book is, itself, a distinct reflection of the individual building and its makers.

ENNEAD PROFILE SERIES 4 (Ennead Architects Profiles)

ENNEAD PROFILE SERIES 4: Standard Hotel

Using the great friendship between Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra as a starting point, the book explores how architecture can enliven its surroundings: literally performing for the neighborhood and enriching the curriculum for its students.   "This is one in a series of books, each of which tells the story of a single building. It is our hope that as these books accumulate alongside our body of work, they, in their aggregate, will form a profile of our design intentions." Acting as a "profile" of a building as well as contributing to the "profile" of Ennead Architects, the books in the Profile Series employ initial program studies, schematic sketches, early two- and three-dimensional study models, construction shots, final photography and a personal statement by the designer to present an intimate, insider's view of the firm's unique approach to every project and to document the creative process. Finished photography combines the precision and technical virtuosity of classic architectural photography with lyrical and personal interpretations of the building, its context, and the people who use it.

ENNEAD PROFILE SERIES 4: Frank Sinatra School for the Arts

Breaking from the Profile Series norm, this book endeavors to tell the story of two "sister" buildings for Pennsylvania State's Dickinson School of Law. After the recent union between the two schools, Richard Olcott was commissioned to design two new buildings: one for the law school on Penn State's main campus and one for the original campus in Carlisle. This book explores the challenge of creating two buildings distinguished by entirely different site conditions, but with a shared program and the identical mission to establish a new campus focal point on their respective campuses. Designed in tandem, the buildings create a visual dialogue across the campuses, and reinforce the dual identity of the Law School.

ENNEAD PROFILE SERIES 4: Dickinson School of Law

Etched into the building's façade are the words of the First Amendment. The book explores the notion of "reading a building" in both literal and metaphorical ways. Building form, materials, systems and detailing are integrated to express institutional identity. "This is one in a series of books, each of which tells the story of a single building.

ENNEAD PROFILE SERIES 4: Newseum

The Profile Series is comprised of books on single buildings, which together communicate the firm's sensibilities. Corresponding to Ennead Architects' philosophy of creating a singular and appropriate architectural response to the particular program, site, and client conditions, each book is, itself, a distinct reflection of the individual building and its makers. The Designer of the building is deeply involved in the book's design and evolution: the building is translated, shared and re-explored for the reader from the intimate perspective of the architect who designed it. The result is a presentation of architecture that is fresh, at times messy and never didactic. Each title includes the Ennead Architects four digit numerical code, used to identify the project for in-house accounting and other identification purposes. The first two numbers represent the year in which the job was awarded. The second two numbers indicate how many projects were awarded that year.
