A new book celebrates the architecture of Hong Kong public housing in the 1950s-1980s. And you don't just get to read about it but also get hands-on through foldout models. Weird, isn't it? In the UK, we see estates of concrete tower blocks as a historical mistake, many of which have since been demolished. But that's for complicated reasons of poverty, class and history: it's not the tower blocks themselves that are at fault.

One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.
