The winning projects for 2021

In white screen printing on rough natural cardboard, the number 22 is arranged in such a way that a graphic "artwork" is created on the cover of the publication. The title "22" thus combines into a striking pattern and only becomes recognisable as such at second glance. Through insertions and additions, a harmonious whole is thus created - a strategy that is also found in some of the projects in the book.


The materiality and the process of making are the focus of the type of binding. With the experimental treatment of the material paper, its properties are changed in such a way that a coarse-grained but at the same time fluffy surface is created at the book's edge. Texture, surface and haptics give the book an extraordinary presence and form a worthy prelude to the world of award-winning architecture.
