PROJECT OVERVIEW
PROJECT OVERVIEW
OBJECTECTURE is the meta-analysis of the form and function of inanimate objects. The photo book explores four objects that are all related to safety. Additionally, throughout the book you’ll notice an underlying subversion of OOO, a philosophy that states objects have a consciousness and a life outside of the human perspective.

Our client, Anti-Academic Press reached out to us for conceptual and production assistance. They handed over a rough concept and photos they felt resonated with the idea. We were tasked with designing, sequencing, and producing this black and white analog film photo book.

RESULTS
RESULTS
While having conversations with the photographer we began to discover a deeper understanding of the subject matter provided to us. The team realized two things that tied everything together.
1) There are repeating objects that are related to the idea of safety.
2) The objects themselves were designed and created for specific functions.
From here, we began exploring names for the book. We landed on OBJECTECTURE. A new word derived from object and architecture and adopting the architectural framework of form and function. This ultimately became the thesis of the book — "The form and function of mundane objects related to safety.".
Establishing the thesis and framework we dove deep into research and began sequencing and experimenting with layouts. Ultimately we categorized the book using four objects (cones, padlocks, fire hydrants, and traffic barricades). Throughout the book you'll find schematics that highlight the form of the objects and chapter spreads that describe the patent of the object — who made it, when it was made, what was its purpose.
The takeaway of the book is to reflect on these four objects in juxtaposition to a metropolis city like NYC and examine the origin and true nature of these mundane objects.
