Negotiating Ungers 1: The Aesthetics of Sustainability, common room, 2018

At the end of each year of Negotiating Ungers summer school, a book was made to document that summer’s activities

For the book, the system of two type sizes is extended into a printed format­Two 12 × 17 cm books, each around 100 pages, are glued together with one centimeter of glue abutting their spines­The larger type size fills the first book while the second book is set in the smaller type sizeThe large text on the front and back cover wrap around both books

Working with Printon in Tallinn, Estonia, prototypes were made to test the stability of two books glued together. Printon also works with a UV press which allows for ink to dry fast and for the cover to not have an aqueous varnish, allowing for a vibrant red color.

The website strategy of using all lowercase typography with uppercase keywords is reused in the bookAll text is set in Helvetica BQ RegularIn total, three issues of Negotating Ungers were made, each responding to a different theme that took place in the summer school
