WANDERSPACE / ZWERFRUIMTE
nai010 Publishers
2020
Belgian architecture firm RE-ST researches complex spatial issues and seeks solutions by investigating wanderspace, the ‘built-over or undeveloped space that we have produced together, but underuse on a daily basis.’ For their 10-year anniversary, they compiled this brick-sized book that explores the question: ‘Why do we build more than we need?’
This is an oh-so-important book in our current society, where we run the risk of paving every last bit of open space left. It was a great pleasure to work on this project.
Concept and curation by RE-ST. Published in September 2020 by nai010 Publishers. With texts by RE-ST, Tine Hens, Roel De Ridder, Leo Van Broeck and Jee Kast. Visual essay by Poolhert Productions and Jee Kast. Book design by me. Production by Laurence Ostyn.
Flush-cut hardcover binding with edge printing in one colour. Cover printed in two colours on Wibalin Recycled and embossed on front and back cover. Interior printed in one colour (with a 48-page four-colour image section) on Eos 2.0. Printing by NPN Drukkers, binding by Boekbinderij Brepols and edge printing by Critis. With the support of Stimuleringsfonds voor creatieve industrie.

The circles on the front and back of the book are embossed into the cover, to reference the look of a perforated engineering brick.
