Created by the people at The Designers Republic, one of today’s most
revered design firms, 3D-2D/Designers Republic explores new ways of
communicating architecture. By recreating a three-dimensional building
in the form of a printed publication, this innovative book attempts to
expand and open up new approaches to presenting and experiencing
architectural products, based on the firm’s own products and research
from over the past ten years. The
book takes as its subject the CCIS Office Building (Chamber of Commerce
and industry of Slovenia) which was designed by Sadar + Vuga, an
up-and-coming architectural practice. Both provocative and interactive,
this unique case study reinvents the architectural drawing in ways that
force the reader to rethink his relationship to buildings, to drawings,
and to space in general. As visionary as it is plain fun to read, 3D-2D
is a user-friendly book in a post electronic, post-CD-ROM, post–DVD
era—one that challenges the potentials of a book as a medium in itself.
