The Writing Architecture Series books began in 1995 with the translation and publication of literary critic Kojin Karatani's Architecture as Metaphor (from the Japanese) and architect Bernard Cache's Earth Moves (from the French), and has included books by architects Ignasi de Solà-Morales, Paul Virilio, and John Hejduk. A key aspect of the series is the translation of important contemporary books in architecture to English. After a three-year hiatus from 2001-2004, The Anyone Project resumed the Writing Architecture Series, published with MIT Press, in 2005. Three volumes comprise this funded project. Recently published is the translation of artist/architect Massimo Scolari's book on the history of architectural drawing from the Italian. Also planned is the translation of art historian Hubert Damisch's collected essays on architecture from the French and the translation of architect/professor Marco Biraghi's book on Manfredo Tafuri and his contemporaries from the Italian.

Massimo Scolari is a painter, sculptor, architect, furniture designer, and author. His work has been featured in numerous exhibitions and is in a number of collections. Formerly a professor at the School of Architecture at the University of Venice and now a visiting professor of architecture at Yale, Scolari resides in Venice.

Hubert Damisch is an art historian and philosopher in Paris. He has published numerous books and articles, which range from the Renaissance to the present, including his History of Perspective. A former Getty Scholar and Mellon Fellow, he has also taught at many universities in the United States and France.
