MCHAP The Americas

Published to immortalize the inaugural cycle of the award of the same name; MCHAP: The Americas, collects the world’s leading architects and academics in a dialogue on the Americas. The book is bound in printed cloth, imprinted with a circle, responding to the visual identity of the award’s initiator. The book is a capsule of American architecture from 2000-2013; a time of momentous change in the field, due to the use of the computer. Seven themes divide the book; the full-bleed series of images for its ‘introduction’ and ‘exit’ are printed in five color, with metallic inks. Together with grid harmony, and varying font size, an expanding-decompressing series of texts alternate with further visual anthologies by artists. English and Spanish versions were published. I was responsible for the art direction and graphic design.
