Founded in 1984 by Ronald Altoon and James Porter, Altoon +
Porter has sustained its growth through all economic cycles
with a clear adherence to its core values. Commitment to
respond to context, to create community, and to serve its
clients' investment or institutional goals has resulted in
a portfolio of projects in 24 countries valued at more than
$3.5 billion. Projects vary widely, and include mixed-use,
retail, office, institutional, and transit-related.
Altoon + Porter's work is informed by a design philosophy
that permeates a respect for context and culture, for an
understanding and application of the traditional structural
order.
The firm actively seeks to expand its role beyond
the domain of practice into the civic, academic and
cultural realms; such outreach is deeply ingrained in its
culture.
This monograph presents Altoon + Porter's most important
works, in full colour photographs, drawings and informative
text.
