“Fascinations” cherishes the spatial fascinations of design professionals, as both written and visual testimonies on typologies and elements within our surrounding environment.

The cityscape is a fascinating amalgamation of building typologies, urban and architectural objects and open spaces of different nature, size and composition.

Attracted by the space that surround us, we believe most people have their own obsessions about the stimulating urban scene. For some this obsession is about particular typologies of buildings or structures such as fortifications, dams, monasteries, bridges, canals; places in the city like streets, pocket spaces, corners, patios/courtyards; urban or architectural objects like gates, fences, entryways, belvederes, staircases, windows. For others, it is about a collection of spatial strategies like incisions, sequential spaces, turns, etc.

Collecting and compiling multiple effects of a spatial typology, this magazine-like line turns books into individual objects of fascination—ready to become part of a greater collection.
