Woods in the City

A woman buys a lot,
demolishes a house,
and to the astonishment of
her neighbors—and to
the woman watching and
photographing the process—
turns it into a garden.

This hardcover book in a windowed box was inspired by the architectural designs of Lebbeus Woods, and many of the decisions were based on a draw from the Ideation Cards created by Barb Tetenbaum and Julie Chen.
