  • Why is the Poortgebouw worth archiving?
    • What is the situation of the PG today? Is there a sense of urgency?
    • Why is the autonomous archive important?

• Overlapping elements

• Overprinting existing material

• work with (negative) space / moving / influencing spaces

PG = SPACE → INFLUENCE

INFLUENCING SPACE

FLUENT LAYOUT?

Typography

  • Edit an existing open source typeface?
  • use an open-source typeface
  • Libre Baskerville Open Source:
    • outside: Classical Typeface (Facade)
    • inside: Open-Source (Community)

Some background (maybe helpful)

  • Time of PG 1879
    • Industrialization
    • Eclecticism (architecture)
      • Mix of different styles (maybe for layout but also too abstract and not closely related to the issue)
    • (Also interesting: Invention of Lithography / Photography in that decade)
      • The book goes from manufacture to mass-production
  • Time of Squatting 1980

→ Libre Baskerville Open Source

Book-Object

Paper

  • Ordered Samples from Antalis (Antalis Chromolux (120g)) |

Link to Antalis – Samples arrived

    • Cocoon Offset recycled 120g
    • Cyclus recycled 100g

Binding

• Glue binding easy and cheap at Publication Station

• Thread Binding complicated to do on our own (time-intensive, less accurate if self-made)
