a máquina de fazer espanhóis

Editorial Design Self-directed university project

A self-directed redesign of a book I loved, rebuilt for reading comfort rather than shelf presence. No trace of the designer, just a text that gets out of the reader's way.

Arquitetura ao Centro 20·23

Editorial Design by capsi for Ordem dos Arquitetos

A coffee-table book for Ordem dos Arquitetos, documenting architecture from Portugal's central region. Built on a 7-column grid (a prime number, so nothing ever lines up evenly), with tracing-paper drawing pages layered over photography, planned around the four-page rule of book binding.

More projects coming soon…
