best architects 24

White as Snow - the book for the best architects 24 award. White as snow, this is how the new publication of the best architects 24 award presents itself. The padded cover feels powdery soft, and when touched, it shows traces like those on a deeply snow-covered surface. After a short time, these traces disappear, and the pure white, fluffy surface of the cover returns, waiting for new marks. The book cover, made from recycled cotton, responds sensitively to the user and temporarily adapts: for a certain period, the cover changes before returning to a neutral starting form. This temporary transformation makes the publication a lively object. The title best architects award is printed on all four edges of the book block. Not only does the unique craftsmanship of the book impress, but also this year's projects, which are richly illustrated and presented with clear descriptions over 424 pages. The extensive work is organized into different thematic areas (Renovations & Extensions, Residential Buildings/Single-Family Homes, Residential Buildings/Multi-Family Homes, Office & Administrative Buildings, Commercial & Industrial Buildings, Educational Buildings, Public Buildings, Other Buildings, and Interior Design), providing a clear insight into the current architectural scene.
