Over the past decades, the conception of books has become an integral part of any architectural practice. This seminar introduces students to the book as a means to think about the production of space, and as a critical medium to discuss and disseminate architectural ideas. In the first part of the seminar students will be offered insights into fundamentals of typography, composition, sequencing, and layout, along with in-class discussions of relevant literature. We will engage in an in-depth analysis of seminal architectural publications, considering their historical and conceptual background. The second part will be dedicated to the actual "building" of a small book, which will reflect critical and editorial skills as well as the craft of bookmaking.
