"This book is geared to introducing designers and artists who explain each project in their own words, focusing on inspiration, concepts, and realization. The showcased projects definitely are the latest fad in the international scene and the names are the ones which get the tongues wagging and which we must put attention to, for behind them are and come the ones who are at the bleeding edge with their work."
