best architects 21
publication

The current edition of the best architects publication is impressive for its absolutely minimalist approach. The cover is completely unprinted and plays with the exciting materiality of natural cardboard. Its rough structure creates an almost velvety surface with an extraordinary tactile quality.

The pure die-cutting creates an exciting overlap with the print underneath. The die-cut English title and the print of the German title behind it create an irritation that is very similar to a camouflage effect. The rough and pure appearance continues on the spine of the book. White crepe paper refines the book spine and completes the puristic design of the binding.
