This first comprehensive monograph surveys the widely discussed work of London-based David Kohn Architects. Twelve autonomous and lavishly illustrated publications varying in size, scope and subject matter offer insights into the studio’s output since its founding in 2007. Each section, distinct in form and content, presents an aspect of the studio’s design process from a different analytical, artistic, critical or editorial point of view: An Architect’s Book, Fables & Figures, White Wide Walls, The Hedgehog And The Fox, Collaboration Objects, Scenographies, Rural Codes, Only A Wall, Contemporary College, November 2024, Jujitsu Urbanism, and Other Rooms. Together, they form an eclectic sample book in which the architect’s book is conceived in the spirit of the artist’s book, a format with its own logic and identity. This approach is reflected in the curated selection of projects, the editorial direction of Moritz Küng, the one-off graphic design by Armand Mevis, and the contributions of invited collaborators.
