About Architectural Traces Aklat

Ang Architectural Traces ay isang aklat tungkol sa mga gawa ng isang arkitektong taga-Dalmatia. Ang pabalat ay may nakahilig na gilid na kahawig ng bubong na may tipikal na Romanong mga tisa kapag tiningnan mula sa malayo. Kapag tiningnan nang malapitan, ang disenyo ay nagpapakita ng mga larawan mula sa aktwal na magnetic resonance scan ng gulugod ng arkitekto. Ang optical illusion na ito ay tumuturo sa nakatagong at masakit na katotohanan sa likod ng hinahangaang mga gusali. Ang aklat ay sumusukat ng 270 mm bawat 270 mm bawat 35 mm at nakalimbag sa offset paper na may matibay na tahing binding at walang panlabas na pambalot. Ang pabalat ay nakaabot sa isang bukas na oblikwong posisyon kapag ginagamit.

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.
