Title: Herbst: Architecture in context

Format: 280 x 220mm, 240pp, double-tiered blind debossing of the linen-clad cover with exposed spine and copper-colour binding
Typography: Sussie International Regular, Medium and Semi Bold.
A single type family — and primarily one weight — was used for this publication. This connected the design with the reductive philosophy of the architects and conciseness of purpose and form.
