Book Launch and Conversation with Andrew Frontini

Join TMU DAS for a special book launch and discussion with award-winning architect Andrew Frontini, as he presents his newly released book, Episodes in Public Architecture . This engaging monograph blends professional autobiography with candid reflections on the creative and collaborative forces shaping public architecture.

Through illustrated project narratives, Frontini offers rare insight into the personal and professional challenges of mentorship, client dynamics, and succession—shedding light on the realities behind the polished images of architectural work. Spanning two decades and featuring 11 award-winning public projects, the book invites readers into the often unpredictable journey of design. Praised for its honesty and storytelling, Episodes in Public Architecture is as much a “letter to the next generation” as it is an exploration of the evolving role of architecture in society.
