The project
The physical format is part of how a project is presented. Archicercle worked with Caracena to produce this binding, bringing together topographic lines, overlapping layers and the project information on its cover.
The cover bears the title ‘Habitar el límite’ and the wording ‘proyecto final de carrera’, identifying a final degree project. Its composition combines a light-coloured surface of topographic lines with a brown base carrying text, placing written information alongside a relief representation.
Production in the studio combined several types of cardboard, printing on rigid substrates, and laser cutting and engraving. These materials and techniques formed a cover in which graphics sit alongside cut profiles and overlapping layers.
The piece is completed with a spiral binding. Seen in perspective, the cover’s depth and its relationship to the rest of the book become apparent: the presentation extends beyond a graphic composition into a layered, three-dimensional surface.
The topographic lines of the upper layer contrast with the brown base carrying the project text.
