Project Stories Vol. 02 takes three architectural practices from different corners of the world and asks each to narrate, in depth, the making of a single significant built work — tracing the distance from initial idea to finished building.
About This Book
Architecture is rarely made the way it is theorised, and this series exists to close that gap. Each entry in the Project Stories series invites practices to speak candidly about process: the confluences of disciplines, the contingencies, the decisions that shaped a work. This second volume features BARarchitekten, Francesca Torzo Architetto, and Wolff Architects — three practices with distinct approaches to built form. Structured as a visual reader, the book pairs behind-the-scenes accounts with conversations with the architects themselves, foregrounding architectural practice as lived, negotiated work rather than finished product. Essential reading for anyone interested in how architecture actually gets made.
