Jake breaks buildings down into individual components that can be combined, stacked and reconfigured into larger compositions, from blankets to full textile “streetscapes.” What makes the system so clever is how it reimagines architecture, which we usually experience at life-size and in permanent materials. In Jake&#8217;s world, it becomes something soft, portable and handcrafted. </p>\n<p>Published by David &#038; Charles, the <a href=\"https://amzn.to/48r1egX\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"
