For the editorial design workshop we had the task of designing and producing a booklet for each studio (12 in total) displaying the processes and outputs of their week at Porto Academy. 

From the moment we've started working together with the studio leaders and their assistants we've realised we would be dealing with very different exercises that would naturally also lead to distinct outcomes – from detailed architecture projects to speculative illustrations or collages, from urban planning to models. 

We went on to develop a set of editorial strategies to be able to communicate the diversity of contents and materials being produced, testing various possibilities to display content of different nature. These processes finally lead us to the design of a visual system – a simple navigation and layout structure – a frame that made room for content to occupy it in different ways according to the nature of the project itself, accommodating distinct approaches and complexity levels without struggling to maintain its coherence. We've also projected ways to anticipate the incorporation of typographic and image structures – briefs, introductions, indexes, texts, captions; photographs, drawings, collages, plans.

This was only possible to achieve in such short time thanks to all the editorial design workshop participants who've put a lot of energy and talent into studying, testing and developing a huge array of solutions, from which we were able to predict the outcomes from each of the architecture studios, and ultimately design the twelve booklets, from which we've selected a few spreads.
