Synopsis:

Since founding his Toronto-based studio in 1985, Bruce Mau has become one of the world's most sought-after designers, collaborating with leading architects, artists and cultural institutions in North America and Europe. This book documents his creative process and studio practice. A collection of essays, observations and personal anecdotes interspersed with project documentation, it manifests Mau's world view and his belief that form and content are inseparable.

Review:

"A 624-page strip tease performed with an endless variety of veils... The book tantalizes readers with glimpses into the thinking of one of the most creative minds at work in design today."―New York Times

"A book form that's partly a journal of ideas, creative anthology, social critique, manifesto for change and a superlative piece of design."―Blueprint

"An insightful and exhilarating analysis of image culture."―Dazed and Confused

"A wide-ranging, fascinating view of the world, it offers hundreds of explanations (or observations) of what we see around us."―Guardian
