To open its Frontiers of Architecture series, Denmark's Louisiana Museum of Modern Art chose the engineer, innovative thinker and writer Cecil Balmond, honouring him with an exhibition of projects past, present and future. This exhibition catalogue, covered in a clear vinyl slipcase, includes abstract sketches, installation photographs and digital renderings of his various projects - exposing Balmond's varied sources of inspiration, thoughts, working methods and processes. 

Introductory essay A Conjurer Behind the Facade: Sidestepping Cartesian Logic in Structural Design by Jonathan Glancey. Also includes an essay by Martin Kemp, an interview with Toyo Ono discussing his collaboration with Balmond and a short contribution by Anish Kapoor referencing the 2002 installation of a giant red gramophone-shaped fabric tube at Tate Modern in London.

The main text of the book is taken from Cecil Balmond in conversation with Vesna Petresin Robert.
