DAVID ADJAYE
THE WEBSTER
Following a period of sustained development and consolidation at AMAG publications, the LONG BOOKS will bring together a unique selection of projects that establish new paradigms in architecture. With a young and irreverent conceptual graphic language, the 1000 numbered copies of each title of AMAG LONG BOOKS COLLECTION will document works with different scales and formal contexts that extend the boundaries of architectural expression.
