THE FUSION OF ARCHITECTURE + ART:
KENNETH TREISTER

by Wayne W. Wood

:: DOUBLE-SIZED ISSUE :: 104 pages :: with over 200 images

PRE-ORDER :: MAILS IN APRIL 2026

Florida-based architect Kenneth Treister has developed a distinctive body of work that integrates architecture, art, landscape, and human experience into cohesive, carefully crafted environments. Deeply inspired by architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Antoni Gaudí, Treister has produced buildings defined by sculptural form, integrated ornament, and a belief that architecture should be experienced as a total work of art. From intimate courtyard houses and expressive religious buildings to innovative schools, public housing, and landmark mixed-use developments, his work consistently dissolves the boundaries between structure, sculpture, and nature.

This expansive volume traces Treister’s career through richly illustrated essays that examine his holistic design philosophy and wide-ranging practice. Drawing on original research, firsthand accounts, and extensive photographic documentation, the issue explores Treister’s use of sculptural concrete, stained glass, carved wood, ceramics, custom furniture, and landscape design—elements often conceived together as part of a unified architectural vision. Featured projects include celebrated residences, socially engaged civic works, and the iconic Mayfair developments in Coconut Grove.

Written by architectural historian Wayne W. Wood, this landmark publication offers the most comprehensive examination of Kenneth Treister’s work to date. With over 200 images, many published for the first time, this issue is an essential resource for architects, designers, scholars, and anyone interested in organic architecture and the enduring relationship between art, architecture, and place.
