Just as Dan and Kristi welcome a newborn baby into their home, a demonic presence begins terrorizing them, tearing apart their perfect world and turning it into an inescapable nightmare.
Security cameras capture the torment, making every minute horrifyingly real.
As one of Miami's most influential architects, Rene Gonzalez
revolutionizes the way luxury buildings are equipped for climate
change. Tactile, experiential, and holistic, the work of his
namesake office demonstrates a belief in the inseparable connection
between nature and architecture, creating spaces that are memorable
and timeless. Surveying fourteen residential, commercial, and
cultural projects in Florida, marking the first phase of his
career, Rene Gonzalez Architects: Not Lost in Translation
illustrates Gonzalez's ability to distill the essence of place,
distinguishing his work both in his home state of Florida and in
the global landscape of contemporary architecture. Projects
featured in the book include three Alchemist boutiques, the first
of which won the 2011 National AIA Institute Honor Award; the
Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation, whose one million glass mosaic
tiles create the illusion of a jungle oasis on the exterior; the
eighteen-story GLASS Residential Tower in Miami Beach; the "pocket
sanctuary" that is vegan restaurant Plant Food + Wine; and the
North Beach Oceanfront Center, which serves as an inviting
gathering ground to the North Miami Beach community. Gonzalez is
especially attuned to environmental issues that are affecting the
world, and which will drastically alter design practice in the
coming years. RGA is receiving widespread attention for its efforts
to respond to these emerging conditions, and these projects reveal
Gonzalez's commitment to embrace and celebrate the environment,
seizing the opportunity to enhance our future. Rene Gonzalez
Architects: Not Lost in Translation is a deeply personal book that
illustrates Gonzalez's fascination with the world that surrounds
him. Featuring a conversation with Gonzalez's colleagues Tod
Williams and Billie Tsien, essays by journalists Caroline Roux and
Beth Dunlop, as well as his own photographs of Miami's vernacular
architecture, this book documents Gonzalez's progressive and
responsive architecture that is of its place yet universally
resonant.
