Extra Spatial

by IDEO, Colin Burns (Text), Fred Dust (Text)

International design company IDEO is a leader in design, development, and technology innovation, creating interactive environments that span many disciplines and industries. Extra Spatial is the company's first survey of recent cutting-edge environments -- from the high-tech shopping experience of the New York Prada store (in collaboration with Rem Koolhaas) to the Stanford Center for Innovations in Learning. Extra Spatial focuses on 28 major projects for clients as diverse as Amtrak, the BBC, the comic strip Dilbert, Hewlett-Packard, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The book features an abundance of pictures and text that walk the reader through the proposed project's challenges and presents the team's brilliant design solutions. With a special thermographic cover that changes color when touched, the package for Extra Spatial demonstrates the progressive thinking behind all of IDEO's undertakings.

I gave this book a 4, mostly because the cover is heat sensitive and turns bright pink where you touch it. The content is so-so.
