1, 2 & Many

António Silveira Gomes

A drop-library with 60 different books selected by 20 people invited by the artist/sculptor Marta Wengorovius. The proposal comprised of creating a book loan system and visual identity. The books differed in format so a 60-in-one blueprint poster device was designed to cut out and line each book jacket. Simultaneously the template sheet worked as a library catalog and a chance based book suggestion system. Architecture and interior design credits: Francisco Aires Mateus e Ana Pimentel
