"This book was built by ten women paper architects. Their tools were knives and bone folders, and four Vandercook printing presses. They blended three typefaces chosen for their affinity and distinctiveness: Garamond, Ehrhardt, and Fournier ... The students developed structural imagery using only paper ... Heather paper from Europe was selected for its natural stone-like colors of oatmeal, sage, charcoal, and mahogany. It was exactly the right stiffness for cut-aways and pop-ups. The tops of the rising sections were hand-cut to suggest a natural landscape where built structures fit into their environment, which changes as you manipulate the book into different configurations ... The accordion-folded sections were sewn together in pairs with linen thread. The book is housed in an acrylic slipcase."--Colophon.
Book consists of double sided, accordion-folded sections cut to form horizontal layers and sewn together in pairs; illustrated with pop-ups and papercuts and is letterpress printed.
In a clear acrylic slipcase as issued.
