Description
WHY Architecture is a wildly interdisciplinary architecture, design, and landscape studio with global projects of every scale, founded by Kulapat Yantrasast in 2004. This is the studio's first comprehensive monograph, celebrating the connections between WHY projects, people, and places. A reflection of WHY's pluralistic approach, the publication consists of multiple interviews with its founder, clients, colleagues, thinkers, and supporters, conducted by longtime WHY friend and collaborator, Katya Tylevich. The book is conceived as a collage of the designs and dialogues fostered by the studio, reflecting the exchanges and close bonds between people dedicated to making better places, and making places better.
Reviews / Votes
»[...] this book demystifies it by emphasizing design as an act of empathy rather than ego-a refreshing take in an often monumental field.«More details
