Books make an immense contribution to how we understand architecture in showing us examples, opening up interpretations, narratives and ideas, and providing instruction and knowledge. But who makes them, and what are their motivations? Inspired by Women’s Day and challenged by the Architecture Foundation, editors at Women Writing Architecture sought out some of the women behind the scenes –publishers, designers, editors and authors – to ask them why they make books, and what their advice is to those of us who want to. The result is a constellation of ten-minute introductions to these women in conversations that individually and together reveal the roles of design, value, money and time – from the monumental to the distracted, in the making of books and their relationship to other forms of mediating architecture.
