"Surface" is the current buzz-word in contemporary architecture and is the main focus of some of today's most cutting-edge and exciting architectural projects. This new issue of Architectural Design intends to bring its readers to a new surface consciousness. This new edition of the cutting-edge Architectural Design brings together a number of emergent works that reflect the idea that surface is more than just a crust or merely a structure onto which architectural work is built. It expresses the notion that surface is becoming increasingly important as it poses new ways of seeing the world, physically and theoretically.
