View profile- Design Rationale
-
The readership for this book is highly visually educated: architects, landscape architects, design professionals, artists – people interested in process and design. So it was important to create a design that speaks at a more experimental level. We played with generous white space, interesting grid arrangements and a minimal typographic approach – making the most of the images, allowing the drawings to reach out across the page. For the drawings on white backgrounds, we removed the edges of the pages so they become quite dynamic and interesting. It was a rare privilege to have so much space to play!
