Blanking: An Annotated Archive of Projects and Thoughts on Architecture
By Rosalyn Shieh, assistant professor in the Department of Architecture, and Troy Schaum
Park Books / University of Chicago Press · 2026
Based on the work and vision of their architecture firm Schaum/Shieh, this book shares what is said and what can be heard in a studio. So much of architectural thinking and knowledge is presented, formulated, and traded in spoken words: pinups, meetings, walkthroughs. Those exchanges inform this book, in which ideas and knowledge that are usually only spoken are made accessible to readers.
