Book of the Moment

As Built is a monograph on the London studio Caruso St. John Architects, published by a+t ediciones. a+t publishes some damn fine - but pricey - magazines twice a year.



Although I've featured St. John's work on my weekly page, I'm not familiar with much of his work, though I feel I should be. It has a quiet appeal, a certain calm that's refreshing these days.



As the editors put it well enough, the studio "has carried out a series of projects that is characterized by coherence, sobriety, and a search for emotion through built reality."
