This monograph dedicated to the work of Brazilian architect Dado Castello Branco is a journey through the timeless elegance of the firm’s projects.
The narrative unfolds through four perspectives that reveal the poetry at the heart of each project: light, materials, the horizon, and art.
Each of the four sections opens in the volume with a different color and then gives way to a generous layout of images. The page layout favors a rhythm that allows the reader to immerse themselves in photographs of refined interiors and buildings where nature has dictated the pace of the built environment.
The typefaces were chosen to harmonize with the understated elegance of the projects and to emphasize their distinct personality: Founders Grotesk (Klim Type Foundry), used for headings and body text, and IBM Plex Mono, used for introductory texts and technical specifications.
For the cover, a paper with a textile-like texture was chosen—Fedrigoni Imitlin—which evokes the materiality of architectural interiors. The title, bold and full of personality, is enhanced by a screen-printed finish.
