The Library of Babel
Book Design, Art Direction
2022
The design and layout of a 12-spread hardcover handmade book based on the short story, The Library of Babel, by author Jorge Luis Borges.
The book is conceptualized from the eyes of a 20th century architect wishing to order and catalogue the findings from the text, in order to understand the enormous structure of the Library of Babel (“The Universe, which others call the library”).
A copy of the book can be found in the permanent collection of the Visual Communication Design department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
