About Architectural Traces Pukapuka

Ko Ngā Tohu Hoahoa Whare he pukapuka mō te mahi a tētahi kaihoahoa whare o Dalmatia. Kei te taha whakawaho o te uhi tētahi taha pīko e rite ana ki tētahi tuanui e mau ana i ngā tairo Roma, ki te tirohia mai i tawhiti. Ki te tirohia mai i te tata, ka whākina te tauira ko ngā whakaahua nō tētahi matawai reonga autō (magnetic resonance) tūturu o te tuarā o te kaihoahoa. Ko te tinihanga ā-kanohi nei e tohu ana ki te ao huna, mamae hoki kei muri i ngā whare e whakamīharotia ana. He 270 mm te whānui, 270 mm te teitei, 35 mm te mātotoru o te pukapuka, ā, kua tāia ki runga i te pepa offset me te whakatōpū tuitui pakari, kāore hoki he kopaki-ā-waho. Ka eke te uhi ki tētahi tūnga hāpai tuwhera i te wā e whakamahia ana.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

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.
