Francisco Kripacz

Arthur Erickson was one of the twentieth century's premier architects, but little has been written about the man who designed the interiors of Erickson's award-winning buildings. A decade before his death, Erickson wrote this manuscript to pay tribute to Francisco Kripacz. It includes Erickson's extended commentary on some of North America's most famous architectural projects from the 1970s through the 1990s, including Roy Thomson Hall, Eppich House, California Plaza, Kaiser Permanente and the Canadian Embassy in Washington, D.C., all of which had stunning interior designs and furniture by Kripacz. Francisco Kripacz: Interior Design is a beautiful legacy to the working partnership of a charismatic and passionate artistic duo-a last testament from a remarkable architect to the man who shared in his greatest achievements.
