Review:

"[Bohlin Cywinski Jackson's] body of work, which spans 45 years and ranges from small vacation houses to Apple’s striking retail stores, is based on the idea that architecture should murmur rather than shout, and that it isn’t about style. Instead, it’s about responding to a building’s context in every sense of the word — a process that is described in the new, aptly titled monograph, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson: The Nature of Circumstance, published by Rizzoli." ~New York Times T Magazine Blog
