Greater Than: An Opacity Monograph

The second Opacity monograph, titled Greater Than, signifies the culmination of six years of our Opacity cycle. This extensive publication, highlighting jury selections from 2020 to 2022, features rich content, including stunning visuals, engaging infographics, and insightful essays from notable outside critics and practitioners alongside those penned by HDR staff selected through an internal essay competition. Edited by architectural critic Anjulie Rao, this monograph reflects on both historical and future perspectives while also focusing on the individuals within our expansive architectural practice. The book highlights how our many unique threads — collaboration, diversity, sustainability and transformation — are interwoven into a powerful collective. The Opacity program honors the diversity within our team and emphasizes our unified commitment to design excellence.
