In the academic environment, graphic experimentation proliferated and architects encountered an intellectual scene filled with passionate debates about philosophy, criticism, and social thought. This set the stage for an eruption of "paper architecture" of incomparable beauty and depth. Perfect Acts of Architecture identifies the preeminent achievements of five architects working during that turbulent period: Peter Eisenman, Rem Koolhaas, Daniel Libeskind, Thom Mayne, and Bernard Tschumi. Catalogue of the exhibition at the Wexner Center for the Arts.

Typography is the single most important design element, and, therefore, the most consequential course that an undergraduate student can take. Then why do so many student portfolios reflect poor typographic skill? In a singular effort to raise the bar on type education, designer and teacher Steven Heller reached out to type-devoted educators across the United States. Drawing from hundreds of hours of collective teaching experience, they distilled proposals and working concepts that make for challenging courses without inflating the students’ schedules. In "The Education of a Typographer", editor Heller presents forty-one approaches to laying the foundation for typographic fluency.

Investigating the archives of one of the most influential designers of the twentieth century, Wigley scrutinizes Wachsmann's design, research, and teaching, closely reading a succession of unseen drawings, models, photographs, correspondence, publications, syllabi, reports, and manuscripts to argue that Wachsmann is an anti-architect—a student of some of the most influential designers of the 1920s who dedicated thirty-five post–Second World War years to the disappearance of architecture.
