Orange Book
Although the Chinese name of BAM 百安木 (bǎi-ān-mù) was chosen purely on phonetic grounds, it made us think of a ‘hundred years safe wood’, a column.
Conveniently using this coincidence, the book grid was constructed of columns which we chose to make visible throughout, in a pastel shade of neon orange. The columns move rhythmically as they try to keep up with the multitude of architecture projects portrayed in this 520 page portfolio whopper.
The portfolio is a retrospective collection of over a hundred BAM projects and initiatives panning 12 years of practice.
