Summary

Description
English: By Kevin Roche, award-winning 20th-century Irish- American architect.

The pyramids is one of Roche's best works and contributed to his being awarded the Pritzker Prize: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pyramids_(Indianapolis)

"Roche started nearly every major job fresh. For each project, he came up with a form or set of volumes, composing them in a manner that responded not only to the particular client and site but also to some idea of what the commission could be beyond those starting conditions.

For the 1970 College Life Insurance Co. Headquarters outside of Indianapolis, Ind., Roche designed three truncated pyramids, each leaning against its core, whose rhythm and undefinable shapes turn them into abstract sculpture. In the bucolic suburbs around New York, he gave the General Foods Corp. a villa at a giant scale, set off against a pool you crossed to reach the domed entrance. Until the late 1980s, each of these designs was radically different, even if the suburban landscape or the insurance client might be similar."
