Inspiring Architecture Book: MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects

Reviewing a new - and inspiring - acquisition to my architecture library from the regional modernist firm: MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects. This book will feed your creative sensibility on every level: there are models, sketches, diagrams, historical context and 372 pages of full-color, beautiful photography. It’s a catalogue of possibility that follows the architectural design process from concept to finished product. With more than 150 projects represented, it describes in clear terms what it looks like to study and deeply understand a problem, a climate, and a place.

One of my favorites! I first discovered Brian McKay Lyons through the publication Design Quarterly #165, by the Walker Art Center. It was a great magazine no longer in publication, sadly. Nice review Eric!
