Book Design For The Architecture Of Urbanity

Pentagram designed the book 'The Architecture of Urbanity' by Vishaan Chakrabarti, published by Princeton University Press. The design builds on the bold typographic identity created for Chakrabarti’s studio PAU, using expressive chapter openers, silver metallic finishes, and a structured layout that balances dense information with rich imagery. The result is a visually rhythmic and conceptually layered publication that mirrors the book’s themes of urban hope and despair.
