I love the idea of this book. Basically this whole book is filled with projects that have won various international competitions. It’s of course a visual treat to go through because each of the projects have some fantastic illustrations and concepts. But what I really love about this book is the section “How we won that competition”. After each project there is a dedicated section which explains why this particular entry was able to beat all others. And honestly, this was the kind of guide I used to look for when I was studying.
