“I had been trying to get into the habit of drawing daily on a number of occasions,” architect Andrew Bruno explains. “But I’m not someone who has a lot of discipline. Posting on Instagram to a public audience was a way to keep me accountable.” Bruno’s new book, One House Per Day, collects the first 365 drawings from his self-initiated social media experiment to design, sketch, and share a single dwelling every day. Since his first post in January 2020, Bruno’s account (@one_house_per_day) has amassed a following of over 47,000—and the drawings keep coming.
Given the project’s original medium, the book fittingly takes the shape of a 7½-by-7½-inch square. Opening with a foreword by Keith Krumwiede and two thoughtful written contributions by Malcolm Rio and the duo Alessandro Orsini and Nick Roseboro, One House Per Day then launches into a steady stream of drawings—each page represents one post, composed of an axonometric, plan, and section of a single domestic design—before closing with reflections by Clark Thenhaus and the author.
