werner sobek light works

werner sobek’s work stands for a melting of the boundaries between architect and engineer. his claim to restrict structural elements to the bare essentials is reflected in the layout of the book. the hierarchical structure of the information is clear cut: the column of project data is the load-bearing element; the descriptive contents are borne along by the body copy. the light style of the geometrically designed future typeface is another reference to the engineering side of sobek’s skills, while the understated, business-like blend of black and grey type corresponds to the corporate dress code.
