Collection of architectural projects: Casa Andina
Design and layout of editorial system for architectural projects

Book Cover design

We design a modern, orderly and replicable editorial system.

The company MAODA contacted us to design an editorial system for architectural projects from different Ecuadorian studios. This first edition is focused on the work of the architecture studio Espinoza Carvajal Arquitectos. The objective was to create an editorial system applicable to a collection of works that allows visualization of the stages of the architectural project: concepts, sketches, plans, models and a photographic gallery of the work. The book, 17.5 x 25 cm in size, was designed to be comfortable to hold and easy to transport. Use wide margins and classic proportions for reader comfort. The internal structure is based on 4 columns, with additional subdivisions on denser pages. The cover consists of a soft cover and an acetate cover with an isometry detail of the architectural project printed in black.
