About Architectural Traces Función Principal: Libro
Texto do Libro: Rastros Arquitectónicos é un libro sobre a obra dun arquitecto dálmata. A cuberta ten un lado inclinado que se asemella a un tellado con tellas romanas típicas cando se ve de lonxe. Vista de preto, a trama revélase como imaxes dunha resonancia magnética real da columna vertebral do arquitecto. A ilusión óptica sinala a realidade oculta e dolorosa detrás dos edificios admirados. O libro mide 270 mm por 270 mm por 35 mm e está impreso en papel offset con encadernación cosida ríxida e sen sobrecuberta. A cuberta acada unha posición oblicua aberta durante o uso.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- Looking from a distance at the sloping side of the cover, we recognize a roof with typical Dalmatian Roman tiles. It is created by the optical illusion of images of the actual Magnetic resonance of the architect's spine, which can be seen when we approach the book. They reveal the hidden and painful reality of a responsible Dalmatian architect, the one behind the buildings we admire.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Dimensions are 270 mm x 270 mm x 35 mm
- Tags
- Book, Architecture, Spine, Traces, Dalmatian, Roman
- Production Technology
- The format of the book was chosen as the one that corresponds to the difference in proportions and quality content of the publication, not too large for the convenience of leafing. It is printed on quality offset paper, hard, stitched binding without the outer paper wrapper.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge was how to show the life of an architect who is not easy. To show it true in a society that has prejudices against responsible architects and that perceives architecture in the wrong way. Show that not all architects are the same.
- Research
- Almost a lifelong experience, living in the same household with an architect, talking many times about architecture, I witnessed many successes but also injustice, misunderstanding, pressure, threats, sleepless nights, and consequently health problems.
- Inspiration
- The Dalmatian architecture disappears under the trends. The authors of the book, called Architectural Traces, describe the works of a renowned Dalmatian architect Jerko Rosin, as modest, considerate, rational, responsible for the area, without unnecessary trendy views. And on the spine that has not bent in front of insatiable investors, which are consistency, stress, and years spent in a chair, I notice some different architectural, more painful, traces.
- Project Duration
- The project started in October 2019 in Split and finished in January 2020 in Split, and was exhibited in Hotel Park congress hall in January 2020.
- Operation Flow
- The book is not designed flat. Although it communicates even when closed, it comes to full expression during use, when opening the book, when the cover comes into its open oblique position.
