Of all the architecture school annuals, Columbia GSAPP's Abstract is the one I know the best.... The latest Abstract (designed by Common Name) is a spiral-bound post-internet book with four sections, each with different paper and page layouts. It's a pleasure to browse and get a flavor for what the school offers and produces. --John Hill, A Daily Dose of Architecture
Collaboratively compiled and co-edited by Amale Andraos (Dean of Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation) and Jesse Seegers (Associate Editor, Digital Projects at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture Planning and Preservation), Abstract 2015 is a critically important and strongly recommended addition to professional and academic library Contemporary Architecture reference collections and supplemental studies reading lists. --John Taylor, Midwest Book Review
