when space is a rare commodity, every detail and every function requires particularly careful consideration, making use of every last inch.

featured architects include atelier kempe thill architects and planners, heatherwick studio, kengo kuma & associates, tilman schalk architekten and more…

is it for me? if you are interested in the generation of provocative structures that are fundamentally integrated with their structural system and construction material, this book is for you. the illustrations and descriptions of each project allow you to gain an understanding of their conceptual and innovative thought process.
