The project also prompted a great deal of innovative design work, including detailed drawings at a scale of 1:10 and the design and construction of life-size prototypes in stone, brick, and wood--all of which are reproduced here among the book's two hundred illustrations. Through their leadership roles with the project, editors Urs Meister, Carmen Rist-Stadelmann, and Machiel Spaan also reflect in \u003ci\u003eCrafting the Façade\u003c\/i\u003e on the learning processes that emerged from the project and offer guidance and resources for others looking to delve into this topic in depth. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Urs Meister\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3038601012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783038601012\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 03\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.80h x 8.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Urs Meister","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448032637183,"sku":"9783038601012","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_414cdc4a-1484-4110-ad7f-cc99351e4332.jpg?v=1777236438","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/crafting-the-fazade-urs-meister-9783038601012","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
