It is a real and conceptual space where they work on recurring themes: operating within the city at the scale of building (urbanism); the interrelation of materiality, units of form, and building products (tectonics); and ways to collaborate with the life of a building in its context (preservation), among others. In addition to visual material drawn from all stages of the design process, what is equally important to \u003ci\u003eBlanking\u003c\/i\u003e is what is said and what can be heard in the studio. So much of architectural thinking and knowledge is presented, formulated, and traded in spoken words: the pinup, the meeting, the walkthrough. This material is the medium within which projects are formulated. Those exchanges inform this book, in which ideas and knowledge that are usually only spoken are written down and made accessible to readers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book is also informed by a process borrowed from metal fabrication called blanking. In the context of Schau\/Shieh's practice, the term describes the collaborative formulation of ideas around a collection of terms and images that make up a conceptual lexicon for practice. Projects drawn from fifteen years of collaboration are set within a wide range of textual material, reframing the studio practice away from individual works and toward the navigation of values, questions, and propositions as knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Troy Schaum, Rosalyne Shieh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3038604003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783038604006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Park Publishing (WI)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Troy Schaum","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46927948841215,"sku":"9783038604006","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31f60979-63fb-4f56-9c21-c3bc769aef89.jpg?v=1749373469","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blanking-troy-schaum-9783038604006","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
