Eric Höweler Publishes New Book “Design for Construction, a Study of Tectonic Imagination in Architecture”

Eric Höweler, Professor in Architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and Principal of Höweler + Yoon Architecture, has published a new book, “Design for Construction: Tectonic Imagination in Contemporary Architecture”. The publication explores how architects and engineers bridge design and construction through a tectonic imagination, a way of thinking that unites material, process, and craft. No less than thirteen Front projects are featured throughout the book, reflecting the firm’s commitment to innovation in façade design, material exploration, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Höweler’s book situates these works within a broader dialogue on the evolving relationship between architecture, technology, and making.
