Books: Catalyst for Fame
There are many successful architects in the world, but not all manage to attain cult-like status. How did some find their breakthroughs and achieve global superstardom? From renowned architectural theorists such as Peter Eisenman and John Hedjuk to practising architects in the likes of Rem Koolhaas and Bjarke Ingels, much of their global starchitect status was concretised thanks to the books they have written and made. What made these books become such iconic landmarks in contemporary architectural history and propelled the global status of these architects? And how can you make a life-changing architecture monograph? The recipient of the President's Design Award "Designer of the Year 2020", architectural writer/educator and book designer Kelley Cheng will share her experience on how you can make a great architecture book.
