This modest yet beautiful publication documents Moore Ruble Yudell's building of the U.S. Embassy in Berlin. The catalogue was conceived as a supplement to the U.S. Embassy exhibition—one in a series of Aedes exhibitions that document the architectural and cultural importations that have enriched Berlin continuously since 1991.
Moore Ruble Yudell, writes Robert Campbell, make buildings that remember the familiar language of architecture, its roofs, windows and materials, its human scale, its wish to be inhabited, and its respect for context, both physical and cultural'. Thirty-two projects, ranging from private residences to urban masterplans, and including recent work in Asia, are surveyed through plans, drawings, photographs and explanatory texts.

It takes two to Tango. Moore Ruble Yudell partnered with the Swedish firm FFNS Arkitekter AB to design a housing project, dubbed Tango, as their contribution to the 2001 housing exposition in Malmö. This book documents the project in depth through photographs and diagrams, taking you through the development step by step.
Making Place presents an extended essay by Buzz Yudell and John Ruble that explores their principles and passions, and the broader view of architecture that sustains their work. Organized into three chapters based on the topics of Understanding, Shaping, and Inhabiting, this volume showcases the recent and current work of Moore Ruble Yudell as a mature community of diverse talents.
Each of MRY's Berlin projects has marked an important moment in the history of the city. Tegel Harbor proclaimed humane values at the periphery of the West just before the barriers fell. Berlinerstrasse was intended to reclaim a site that symbolized German civilization and natural beauty before it was brutalized. Kirchsteinfeld and Karow Nord brought an improved standard of living to east Germany. Tiergarten Dreiecke, with its three embassies and CDU HQ, is a major addition to Berlin as the capital of a reunited Germany.
This second AIA Press monograph presents a wide spectrum of planning and building types by MRY. The firm's vision and philosophy shines through, whether they are creating an inspiring campus building to promote higher learning, or making comfortable intimate spaces for daily living.
This monograph presents a remarkable body of residential work by MRY. While the architects have achieved international acclaim for a wide spectrum of planning and building types, their vision ad philosophy originated in the design of places for dwelling. Working in close and open collaboration with clients, the architects evolved a uniquely participatory style. Their passion for the concerns of habitation is revealed in works ranging from remodeled California bungalows to housing and town planning in Europe and Japan.
The thirty-seven projects featured here include the award winning projects for Rodes House (Los Angeles), Tegel Harbour Housing and the Humboldt Library (Berlin), and St. Matthew's Church (California). The variety of work reflects the architects' sensitivity to the historical, architectural and natural features of the places where they build, and their concern with balancing the sense of place with the aims and requests of their clients.
