Metropolis examines contemporary life through design—architecture, interior design, product design, graphic design, crafts, planning, and preservation. Subjects range from the sprawling urban environment to intimate living spaces to small objects of everyday use.

With its innovative graphic presentation and its provocative voice, Metropolis shows how richly designed our world can be.
