MJ Long is an architect, interior designer and a visiting critic at yale
university’s school of architecture. since 1976, Long has designed a
number of purpose-built artists’ studios, each uniquely conceived with the
focus on the provision of working daylight in the studio. artists’ studios
looks upon the relationship between artist and studio and the designs of
Long from her perspective. the book is organised around each studio
she has been involved with, detailing the conception of the project and
the specific needs of the artists.
artists’ studios provides the reader with a unique insight into a very
special collaborative practice between architect and artist, in addition
to providing a glimpse into never before seen interiors of the artists’
working and living environments.
