    —

    , ,

    I recently got my hands on two great little books produced by Klein Dytham Architecture to highlight their work. Each book, THE KDa CATALOGUE OF QUOTES and KLEIN DYTHAM ARCHITECTURE 2005 HIGHLIGHTS, acts as a showcase, and instead of describing their works themselves, they let others do it for them. Featuring fun graphics by Namaiki,…
