The Architect & Designer Birthday Book is a beautifully curated collection that honors the birthdays of famous, infamous, and often-overlooked designers and architects, packaged in a stunning book.

This gift book is a must-have for design and architecture professionals and students alike—something they didn’t know they needed but won’t want to live without. Inspired by architect James Biber’s captivating Instagram project, where he shared a birthday bio of a designer or architect every day for a year during the pandemic, The Architect and Designer Birthday Book is packed with personal, witty, and insightful reflections on both well-known and lesser-known figures.

Inside, readers will find mini-biographies that span a diverse range of architects, designers, and artists from around the world, including:

• Architects from Aino and Alvar Aalto to Peter Zumthor
• Rivals Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Francesco Borromini
• Photographers such as Lee Miller, Vivian Maier, and Judith Turner
• Midcentury modernists like Marcel Breuer, Walter Gropius, and Florence Knoll
• Visionary women like Charlotte Perriand, Lilly Reich, and Denise Scott Brown

These brief profiles are more like anecdotal snapshots than formal biographies, offering sharp, entertaining commentary on how these creatives influenced one another and shaped design history. The book offers a unique blend of Biber’s personal journey and the broader history of architecture and design.
