Architectural Prototypes

Architectural Prototypes is the Licentiate Thesis of Jonas Runberger, produced by KTH, the Royal College of Technology in Stockholm. We worked very closely with the book's author to create a two-books-in-one limited edition that facilitates a simultaneous reading of both projects-driven and academic research.

One book is projects-based and contains plenty of visual material, while the other is predominantly textual. Related passages in the two books are cross-referenced by means of a typographic device. We used both the sans and serif fonts of one type family to distinguish content while at the same time ensure visual coherency. A tidy three-column layout on an underlying image grid ensures legibility.
