Description

Legendary architect Moshe Safdie has spent over five decades designing some of the world's most influential structures. From the 1967 modular housing scheme in Montreal to the Crystal Bridges Museum in Arkansas, his work has had a profound impact on communities around the globe.

In "If Walls Could Speak", Safdie shares his approach to architecture as a social force for good, and how he seeks to address challenges such as population density and environmental distress through innovative solutions. Through personal stories and behind-the-scenes insights into his design process, Safdie reveals the complex interplay that underpins every project.

Illustrated with drawings, sketches, photographs, and documents from his firm's archives, this book offers a unique glimpse into the mind of one of the world's most respected architects. It concludes with a chapter outlining seven projects Safdie would pursue if resources and will were no issue.
