An archive of 250 architectural works built in Japan between 1961 and 1992.
The physical and tactile dimension of the object, tangible both in its colors, papers, proportion, volume and weight, seeks a intimate and natural universe of discoveries and subtle transitions. The construction of a hybrid, non-hierarchical, free and multidirectional reading space in both languages (English and Japanese) was sought. The book aims to preserve the unique characteristics of each language and, at the same time, integrate them fluidly into the typographic design.
