Nihon Kenchiku


Instructor: Natasha Jen

Year: 2021
Zine / Print Design / Editorial Design

Nihon Kenchiku anchors it's design around the typeface Everett. As Everett was inspire by Japanese architecture, Nihon Kenchiku explores the six major elements of Traditional Japanese architecture and uses that motif as the foundation of its design. The zine is broken up into six different components, breaking down the idea of a book into separate elements, allowing the viewer to reconstruct the architecture of the reading experience.
