Contemporary World Architects: Robert Marino
by Kenneth Frampton (Foreword), Robert Marino, Oscar Riera Ojeda, Oscar Riera Ojeda (Editor), Alvaro Malo (Introduction)

Book Description
Though much of Robert Marino's work takes the form of additions to existing houses, the stunning rhythmic structure of these addenda infuses new life and energy into the existing structures. Trained both as an architect and an engineer, Marino is a master builder with an acute sense of space and structure. His distinctive use of materials, such as timber-framed or boxed elements as masonry components or lightweight steel bars, is a signature element in his work. This beautiful monograph explores his work, from residential additions to conversion of large commercial buildings.
