Thanks to a long-standing relationship with Yale School of Architecture's former dean, Robert A.M. Stern, Bierut has designed scores of their speaker series posters. Each poster deploys an entirely new style. Bierut has also designed numerous architectural monographs, all of which are on view. He describes each monograph as attempting to embody the work and aesthetic of the architect.

Choosing not to make a big to-do of itself, this cottage blends in with its surroundings. A wall of glass on one end allows a merger of the outdoors with the interiors, while white trim leaves the appearance of a snow-kissed façade year-round. Berlin, Germany.

Girodo describes LEAPfactory’s architecture as being “molded according to the needs and stresses imposed by context.” In this setting, strong winds and snow loads are serious concerns. The shell’s composite sandwich panels and aluminum shingles ensure that the school can withstand the elements.

For better or worse, Livesey says, nearly all the furniture in the building is on wheels. Here, in the auditorium, partitions break up the space for end-of-quarter reviews.

For the architecture students, offering examples of good practices was much easier. "We have big spaces, little spaces, very long spaces, very short spaces, and very tall spaces," Livesey says.

Sparano works in the dining area, where books about travel, architecture, and food, as well as framed architectural drawings from his grad school days, line the back wall. The hollow glass-walled light fixture is from Ikea; every few months, the family fills it with a different season-inspired item, such as pinecones in the fall and feathers in the winter, as pictured here.
