"What happens when a brilliant architect decides to construct a
book rather than a building? You get Reveal, an idiosyncratic
collection of dazzling images and insightful text that shows the
hidden influence behind each of her firms projects." -- Chicago
magazine
"If you are looking for good books on interior design theory, the
pickings are quite slim. Lois Weinthal's massive 648-page reader
redresses this with a carefully curated collection of 48 essays,
with texts by Wim Wenders, Le Corbusier, Beatriz Colomina, and (my
favorite) Juhani Pallasmaa. While there is an almost too heavy
reliance on essays from the field of architecture (and you cant
really blame Weinthal for that), she divides the book into eight
chapters, pulling from many fields: fashion, philosophy, film, and
art." - Paul Makovsky, Designers&Books
"This year, Chicago's Jeanne Gang was the first architect since
1999 to win a $500,000 MacArthur Fellowship. Her firm's bracing
monograph shows why: Standard building presentations are layered
with unexpected narrative threads and format twists, such as a
fold-out history of a glacial boulder that was jack-hammered to
make way for Gang's Aqua, 82 stories of undulating concrete near
Lake Michigan." -- San Francisco Chronicle
