"Humanizing the Institution: The Architecture of Bobrow/Thomas and Associates explores the Los Angeles firm's work from 1972 to today through perceptive text, photography, and illustrations. BTA emphasizes user and community interaction, contextual design, and rigorous project management, and the projects presented here, including the Los Angeles County Emergency Operations Center and Casa Pacifica Children's Crisis Care Center, both care first about the user and context. Four major practice areas are presented: technology, teaching, healing, and sanctuary. Critic Michael Webb writes, in a book review in LA Architect, 'This well-illustrated overview...shows that architects really can enhance the quality of life.' / Raul A.

Currently, he is a contributing editor to Metropolitan Home, Travel + Leisure, and writes for the New York Times, House Beautiful, ID, Dwell, and Architecture.
