“"The form of the architecture is already buried in the stone, so context is enormous. I don't bring a vision to anything. I let everything into my palette and connect all that to the framework in which we live. I turn everything upside down and try to distill it to its basic ideas and proportions.” Cecil Baker, AIA”

Philadelphia architect Cecil Baker’s half century career has been marked by contradictions: he is both an Argentine and an Englishman; an architect and a developer; a builder of abodes for the rich and the cash-strapped alike. Within these contrasting worlds he has produced buildings that seek to bring order to chaos, permanence to the ephemeral.

This rich volume reflects on a body of work through the lens of the designer himself. As both an architect and a developer in the 1970s, Baker and his colleagues transformed industrial neighborhoods in Philadelphia into oases that combined residential, office and retail components. Founding Cecil Baker + Partners in 1982, Baker has repeatedly enriched the urban realms of Philadelphia and other cities and designed unique houses for clients worldwide.
