Although compiled to benefit the architectural industry and academic
community, Softspace turns out to be accessible to anyone interested
in the life cycle of human culture and civilization and its ability to
adapt and embrace a new paradigm. This well thought out collection of
works by talented essayists speaks to our growing need of creative use
of materials to further efforts of design. It challenges the reader to
rethink their surroundings and to explore beyond conventional wisdom
and methodology of architectural construction. The compilation is well
written, logically arranged and smartly appointed with imaginative
photography and illustration. I would strongly recommend Softspace to
architectural professionals, students and enthusiasts.

Even through its subtle and discreet design, SoftSpace exudes sexiness in the most understated way. It captures the very difficult to define LOUD whisper of the contemporary in the most unorthodox way. It defines the contemporary aspirations of Design with very broad strokes crossing disciplines as varied as fashion, style, sociology etc. An important book if you seek currency in your design library or a great gift for the design/architecture enthusiast.
