Layout

layout grid
image captions with aspect ratio
names / metadata

  • Why the book as a medium?
  • fixed structure & narrative vs database of wiki / archive.
  • Haptic experience (Paper vs digital)
  • Legitimacy
  • Self-contained
  • using the book as a statement / fixed object in time and space
  • capturing a certain timeframe -> fixed
  • creates access to the actual archive

Images

  • the use of flash and verticals as a way of creating a consistent visual structure as a way to emphasize a lived in space
  • rastering (give back the character of the old print mediums from zins of formal squatts)

Typography

Libre Baskerville

  • open source
  • supporting the open spirit
  • referring to the time of PG 1879
  • Industrialization
  • Eclecticism (architecture)

Metadata

  • Metadata (tuned – information about interviewed people) (Alex)
  • Layouting much text: how to generate tension

→using indents and iterating throughout the book

Paper

  • Chromolux 700m(one sided glossy - one sided matt) on glossy side
  • photography, on matt side - text. this way we used paper as well as an haptical communication element.
  • contradiction of the building, inside - outside
  • guide through the publication, seperate images and text (support structure)
  • give value to archival material.
