Featured in Dwell magazine as a must have

for any architectural afficianado.

Revisiting The Glass House chronicles the

changing perspectives of architectural utopia

as reinterpreted by contemporary artists.

our successes, our failures, our resolve.

The design of the book mirrors these perspec- tives through shifting compositions in paragraph form. It is rigid, forceful, and stark.

At key moments, the typography creates fissures in the overall structure of the book through the composition of the page. The justified paragraphs represent the rigidity of architecture, but as ideas about architecture and society evolve, so do the paragraph shapes as they shift significantly the

left or right.
