Where Architecture Meets The Sky, You Get Type
By Samuel John Klein On 1st August 2007 @ 14:04 In Typography, News | No Comments
Seen on various blogs and sites today (amongst them, [1] Mirage Studios, Dezeen, and mentioned by [2] John Nack), a series of photographs taken by German art student Lisa Reinermann has gotten notice.
It’s a series of photographic prints, bound, in book form, show the alphabet defined as patches of sky outlined by building roof lines. Quoting dezeen’s translation of the [3] text on the blog Slanted, a German-language site which debuted the collection:
I was in a kind of courtyard in Barcelona. I looked upward and saw houses, the blue sky and clouds. The more I looked, I saw that the houses formed a letter Q”…She then set out to find more letterforms, spending weeks only looking upwards. The more difficult letters such as Q and K were the easiest to find, she says, but admits that PhotoShop helped here and there.
We know not at this point whether or not this volume is available for purchase.
