BRUCE MAU AUTHORSHIP
BOOKS
MC24
Bruce Mau has long applied the power of design to transforming the world. Developed over the past three decades, this remarkable book is organized by 24 values that are at the core of Mau’s philosophy. MC24 features essays, observations, project documentation, and design work by Mau and other high-profile architects, designers, artists, scientists, environmentalists, and thinkers of our time. Practical, playful, and critical, it equips readers with a tool kit and empowers them to make an impact and engender change on all scales
MASSIVE CHANGE
The most powerful articulation of the concepts and ideas at the foundation of Bruce’s life work is manifested in Massive Change. Presented first as a book and then as an exhibition that charted the beauty and complexity of our interconnected world, Massive Change posed the question, “now that we can do anything, what will we do?” Bruce’s own design work and writings represent his hard work to explore and answer that question.
THE THIRD TEACHER
Co-authored with OWP/P Architects and VS Furniture, the nationally and internationally recognized The Third Teacher presents a compendium of ways that design can transform teaching and learning for students, families and teachers to thrive in tomorrow’s world.
LIFESTYLE
An insight into the creative process of designer Bruce Mau, edited by Kyo Maclear with Bart Testa, Life Style offers a compendium of Mau's essays, observations, anecdotes, and project documentation that embodies his unique world view and belief that form and content are inseparable.
S,M,L,XL
Created in collaboration with architect Rem Koolhaas, S,M,L,XL explores a new kind of time that is closest to cinematic sequencing in its effects on the reader. The book's title is also its framework: projects and essays arranged according to scale. This accumulation of words and images illuminates the condition of architecture today — its splendors and miseries — exploring and revealing the corrosive impact of politics, context, the economy, globalization — the world.
SPECTACLE
David Rockwell and Bruce Mau take readers on a visual tour of far-flung and fleeting, beautiful and bizarre spectacles that galvanize crowds of people and, if only for a brief moment, forge a bond among strangers and create an instant community. Also included are 20 interviews with influential cultural figures, including art critic Dave Hickey, film director John Waters, theater director Julie Taymor, and architects Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, among others.
