“Why do architects always wear black?”. Cordula Rau was asked this question by an automotive industry manager during an architectural competition — and it inspired her to ask other architects, as well as artists and designers. Since 2001, she has been collecting their handwritten replies. In 2008, these were published in a small book – black-bound, of course. This third edition of legendary collection has been expanded to include 16 new amusing, pragmatic, and subtle explanations. “Read it – but please don’t ask me why again architects wear black!” (Cordula Rau)
ISBN 9783035629484. Birkhauser Verlag. hb. 292 pages. 143 b/w ills. 14.8 x 10.5 cm.
