This Is Where We Live

Published by Gestalten, This Is Where We Live brings together more than 200 illustrated stories that explore the many ways we experience, imagine and interpret the spaces around us. Featuring work from some of today’s most inventive illustrators, the book transforms floor plans, maps, buildings and cities into rich visual narratives that challenge conventional ways of seeing the built environment.

Through detailed cutaways, axonometric drawings, imaginative maps and playful visual systems, the featured artists reveal how illustration can be used to tell stories about architecture, place and everyday life. Each project offers a unique perspective on the spaces we inhabit, highlighting the emotional, cultural and personal connections that shape our relationship with the world around us.

Blending illustration, architecture and design culture, This Is Where We Live is both an inspiring visual collection and a celebration of creative storytelling. Thought-provoking and beautifully presented, it invites readers to look at familiar places with fresh eyes and discover new possibilities within the spaces they call home.
