Project Stories Vol. 01 pulls back the curtain on architectural practice by following three distinct offices through the full arc of a significant built work — from initial concept to completed building — with conversations that reveal the thinking behind each decision.
About This Book
What does it actually take to make a building? Project Stories answers that question not through theory but through close, behind-the-scenes examination of real projects. Published by the Bergen School of Architecture, this first volume gathers three practices — Atelier Tomas Dirrix, Studio Muoto, and Erika Nakagawa Office — each telling the story of one significant built work. Structured as a visual reader, the series makes space for the diversity of contemporary architectural practice: different geographies, different methodologies, different scales. The accompanying conversations with each architect add a further layer, turning each project into a portrait of creative process. Essential reading for practitioners and students who want to understand how architecture is actually produced.
