The superior quality of the award-winning works is echoed in the lavish design of the book with its premium materials and craftsmanship. The book cover and slipcase are marked by a striking reduction to the essentials. Sparingly used graphic elements have been accentuated for maximum impact.  

An open binding with exposed black thread was chosen to emphasise the constructive aspect of book binding as part of the design. A special focus was also placed on the paper. The premium natural paper with its uncommon tactile appeal was made especially for the book in northern Scotland. The form taken by the book thus makes it a singularly fitting vehicle for communicating the outstanding architectural achievements described therein.
