I think that\u2019s why architects love making books, because it\u2019s almost a kind of rehearsal.\u201d \u2013 Benjamin Aranda\nMore information about the conference: https://www.arch.columbia.edu/events/743-making-books-now-columbia-gsapp-at-the-chicago-architecture-biennial\nBenjamin Aranda: http://arandalasch.com\nDavid Benjamin: http://www.thelivingnewyork.com
