Description: Offers Prescott Muir's thoughts on emergent architectural meanings, and the intricate processes involved in architectural design.
Synopsis: 'It by Bit' has universal implications, in that it explores the particularity of a renown yet regional practice dedicated over thirty-five years to the testing and refinement of a working method first suggested by Adolf Loos, interpreted by Hannes Meyer in the Bauhaus and further demonstrated by the mid-century architecture of Shadrach Woods. Yet this is a design method missing in present discourse more preoccupied with the authorship, escapism and the saturated image. This book represents in varying level of detail, the initial idea, drawings holistically considered and photographs of the architecture with special attention to ones physical engagement with the work.
