Touchstones of Design, is an avant-garde, artistically photographic publication which brilliantly illustrates Curtis Fentress’ eight time-tested guiding design principles, which are essential to creating beautiful, functional and lasting public architecture. “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.†– Curtis Fentress
