28 Books and Book Covers in Architectural Theory

This project puts architectural theory into practice by asking second year architecture students to make a book cover for a contemporary theory book. The idea is to visualize written essays and architectural thought by having architecture students design, plan and build a book cover selected from a list of sixty books. From a pedagogical point of view it was important to create a seminar where each student has the opportunity to explore, express, and conclude by physical means while reading and learning. Connecting reason and knowledge with formal expression is the fundamental challenge for this assignment.
