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.
