The covers and the various slanted pages

The two publications were born within a collaboration between Iuav of Venice and the Italian Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and were developed in the Communication 2 laboratory held by Professor Luciano Perondi, assisted by Bruno Calza.

The aim is to tell the story of the data on PNRR and PINQuA in an innovative way, with the only constraint being the omega-point bound A4 format.

The first book gives an overview starting with the PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan) at the European level and then focusing on the Italian situation. This track ends with an introductory sentence to PINQuA (National Innovative Program for Housing Quality). The second book, on the other hand, provides a general overview of PINQuA, with a specific focus on Mission 5 of the program.

The graphics in the book were created with a program created through P5.js, which repeats letters and changes their size based on the gray value of a previously uploaded image.

To further bring out this need for a change of perspective and to mark the fact that things change if people want them to, each page, in fact, undergoes a rotation of 11.25° from the previous one, leading the book to make a complete rotation of 180° as a whole, an aid in this is provided by the “handles”, visual cues that suggest how to position the hands to support the book while reading. This solution not only facilitates the enjoyment of the printed material, but also adds an interactive and functional element to the design.

Buscoresi is a search engine for university residences in Spain made by former residents. It's a place to find a home for students.

Kinoto Studio’s rebranding proposal was based on speaking to two audiences at the same time so it had to be fun and playful for the students looking for their first home but also professional for their parents that are the decision-makers.

The branding has two typefaces, Galaxie Polaris (Constellation) and New Kansas (Newlyn) that live together in an organic way.

The new look is currently in the process of being implemented. Some of it can already be seen on Buscoresi’s Instagram account.
