Touchstones of Design: [re]defining public architecture is a graphically stunning and conceptually bold publication which illustrates Fentress’ time-tested design philosophy. The book explores eight guiding principles which Fentress believes are integral to the creation of beautiful, functional and enduring public architecture. In his own words: “Some architects have a preconceived notion of what a building should be — they design from the outside like the building is a piece of sculpture. I prefer to patiently search through extensive discovery until I find a seam somewhere, crack it open and discover the art inside.”
