“To quote the namesake founding partner of Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects (LOHA), this forthcoming book presents a “three-dimensional snapshot” of the firm’s work. It covers 15 context-sensitive projects, the bulk of them situated in and around LOHA’s home base of Los Angeles. These range from supportive housing to a dance center within a former citrus-packing plant. But sunny Southern California isn’t the only locale at play: two projects in Detroit, where the firm has a second studio, also appear.” — ARCHITECTURAL RECORD
