Project Stories takes an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at the stories of built projects to offer an insight into the nature of architectural practice today.
The book series invites an eclectic constellation of architectural practices from across the globe to tell the story of one of their significant built works. Each volume brings together three edited project stories accompanied by individual conversations with the architects. Every story chronicles how an idea comes into being, making visible the diverse approaches and the merging together of various fields that go into constructing a work of architecture. Part essay, part picture book, the series takes the form of a visual reader as a way to ‘see the thinking’ behind the works and practices. Equally intended for students in architecture, architects and teachers of architecture, as well as anyone curious about the creative process, this collection of stories assembles a wide range of situated positions, conditions and approaches to making architecture today — all equally diverse and equally legitimate.
Volume 1 features:
Atelier Tomas Dirrix: Ceiling for a Crater
Studio Muoto: Public Condenser
