SPOTLIGHT ON ARCHITECTURE
EDITOR’S NOTE
outside the typical scope of
Modern Build-

features – reminds us that, in
a best-case scenario, design is more than

highlights some interesting commonalities. It’s not just about a
structure as sculpture – though there’s an argument to be made
that art, especially shared art in public places, improves our
lifestyles – but also about structure as a mirror of how we live and
interact with one another.

structures where we go about our daily lives – whether

You are part of the collective that helped inspire beauty.
