Additional Practical Outcome — OUGD601

To further synthesise the dissertation and the relationships of utopianism in Brutalist architecture and Modernist graphic design, creating a book that explains the journey through which the concrete alphabet was achieved will help assist those who are viewing the structures.

This also allows the opportunity to showcase how Modernist graphic design has matured over the years following all of the refinements and changes it has gone through. This will be executed through editorial and typographic form throughout the publication supporting the concrete objects. The heavy influence by Thomas More's utopian alphabet, Le Corbusier's Unité d'Habitation, and most importantly of all, the completed dissertation with all sources will essentially create a guide of which to view the letters. Quintessentially describing the project from start to finish from a theoretical point of view.

This book will be executed with obvious connotations to the work of Experimental Jetset, that could be considered as a 'modern' Modernist attitude towards the movement compared to 40/50 years ago. Using elements like a sans serif based typefaces and a strong use of the grid system.
