About this book

Everyday city objects contain histories that are easy to overlook. This guide examines features such as wall anchors, street signals, emergency access boxes and curb cuts, explaining the practical problems and social choices behind their designs. It also considers structures that outlast their original purpose, showing how streets and buildings retain traces of changing urban life.

Roman Mars

Roman Mars abandoned a genetics doctorate for public radio, and in 2010 started 99% Invisible at KALW in San Francisco as a short segment co-produced with the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects. It became a design podcast with a worldwide following and led him to co-found the Radiotopia collective with PRX.
