Design Concept:

The design seeks to celebrate the craft and experience of “book” through the lens of contemporary architecture. Folded models explored the physical inhabitation of “the page” which in turn informed the geometry of the protective “cover” – a reference to the exterior building envelope. Each fold is informed by the space light and volume appropriate to the program it contains. The completed building is distinguished by the evolution of a simple program diagram into an architectonic expression of form material craft and detail.
