The Architecture of Books is a seminar taught by Reto Geiser at the Rice University School of Architecture. Students are introduced to the book as a means to think about the production of space, and as a critical vessel to discuss and disseminate architectural ideas.

Your House
In one of the rare times that I'll promote the proliferation of eye candy: here are some photographs of Eliasson's Your House, designed by Michael Heimann and Claudia Baulesch. It's better in the flesh (as with most print matter), but you can imagine the desired effect looking at these images: moving through a dense compilation of sectional cuts taken through the artist's own house, allowing the effect of the binding to play with the angle of projection. Eliasson also exploits the double axis of time and space that Mau discusses in "Reading: Shaping Time"as a territory belonging to type, and, by extension, books.
