Dead trees alert: a Soulellis Studio book, organized chronologically, featuring everything on this site from 2007 until November 2009. 316 pages. Very limited edition. We'll make a few copies available soon, probably on Twitter.
Our seventh Cornell University College of Architecture, Art and Planning alumni newsletter, featuring Pantone 814 purple.
We designed a new logo for Urban Center Books earlier this year as part of our ongoing work for the Municipal Art Society of New York. You'll find it on bags, bookmarks and on the spine of the new book Unpacking My Library, just published by Yale (book design by Pentagram).
The much-loved architecture and design book store, considered to be one of the best of its kind in the US, is closing in January. MAS is moving to West 57 Street and until new retail space is found the book store will be online only. Anyone who has browsed this place in person knows how much it will be missed. Can't wait to see it reborn in 2010.
Last weekend I stayed in an apartment in Berlin with a magnificent library. Thousands of books lining the walls in each room. I started looking closely and realized that there were some real treasures in here, like a Josef Müller-Brockmann designed book from 1960, der Film. His poster of the same name is one of the most famous of the 20th century, but I didn't know about the book.
And I started pulling out dozens of small paperbacks from the 1960s and 70s, all published by dtv (Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag). The designer is Swiss-born Celestino Piatti, who designed 5,000 books for dtv from 1961 until the mid-90s. I wish I'd brought my Nikon with me but the iPhone shots aren't too bad.
An Akzidenz Grotesk dream-come-true.
