As we were putting together the awards, competitions, completed buildings, exhibition, and monographs for our biannual Selected News from Selected Architects, one of the projects that stood out is Min | Day's design for the Bemis InfoShop in Nebraska.

The design reminds us of the qualities of small projects—details, tactility, experimentation, and craft—that occur even with small budgets. The design also reminds us that these qualities should be considered whatever the scale of a project.
