101 Things I Learned® in Product Design School
Praise
“Lavishly illustrated…meticulously and lucidly deconstructs the design.”
─The New York Times
“[An] eye-widening piece of illustrated deconstruction…on the most enduring symbol of city life.”
─Wired
“Images of diaphragm walls, skeletal frame systems and elevator shafts may not sound like a colourful depiction of the high life, but a new intricate detailing of the inner workings of the mighty skyscraper might well be one of the most interesting books published all year.”
─The Independent (UK)
“A remarkably plain-language reexamination of tall buildings in a sustainability-conscious age…a laudable, one-stop summary that goes beyond lists and photographs of tall buildings and gives a rich grounding in vertical basics that all students of cities both need and deserve”
─The Atlantic Cities
