In this long-overdue study, respected architectural writer and critic Robert McCarter presents fifty of Grafton's built and unbuilt projects and brings to light their principled and ethical approach, which is committed to making a profound difference to the lives of their buildings' users. Curators of the Venice Biennale of Architecture 2018, Grafton Architects are the recipients of numerous awards, including the Silver Lion at the Biennale's 2012 exhibition (éditeur).
