This self-initiated publication is an attempt to document the first-year graduate studio at UIC School of Design, room 2320.
The publication consists of two elements: the first element is the dust jacket of the book, which also functions as a map of the studio, including a key and the second element is the book itself, which consists of 58 scanned surfaces of the studio printed on the risograph.
In order to read the book and get a sense of the studio the reader needs both of the elements. The map includes the shape of the room – a triangle – as well as the position of each scan according to their cardinal direction.
The way the scans are arranged and paced throughout the book is according to the same way someone would encounter the objects while entering the room from the north entrance, moving all the way to the south entrance of the room. They key of the map includes all titles of each scanned surface.
All scanned surfaces in the book are color-coded based on the color outcome of the scans and arranged based on their cardinal direction, starting from northwest to southeast.
