The concept was designed as a closed object, like a practical toolbox, with a solid typographic composition that can be seen on all sides of the cover book. The result is an intriguing game of perspectives and reflexes. The interior is divided into half, two areas, the top one with silver background images that directly links with a lower area with the corresponding text.
With ‘ToolBook’, Diogo Brito authors a practical publication about architectural practice in the everyday life of architects. From a formal perspective, the book is written as if it were a screenplay for a movie, as both the scriptwriter and the architect must be creative within a set of rules, assumptions, conditions, or limitations.
