MIT School of Architecture: Thresholds 50 Before | After
(MORE SOON)

Publication
2022

Publication design for the 50th issue of MIT School of Architecture’s Thresholds. The theme of the issue, Before | After, deals with the poignancies of the passage of time: looking backward and forward, at pasts, past futures, and present possibilities. The design of the book alludes to the very thresholds of before and after, featuring a neon red spot color that ebbs and flows from the cover through every red in the book in fluctuating amounts—whether it’s archival imagery, present-day photographs, gradient floods, or handwritten elements.

Thresholds 50 is jointly edited by Jola Idowu, Antonio Pacheco, Ardalan Sadeghikivi, and Meriam Soltan. Lithography by Marjeta Morinc.

Completed with Doubleday and Cartwright: creative direction by Aaron Amaro, and photo editing by Shane Lyons. Special thanks to Rafa Oliveira and Andy Waterman of the Tracksmith team. Photography of magazines by Shane Lyons.
