In Amsterdam in Letters, typografie en architectuur toont fotograaf Maarten Helle het brede scala aan letters, namen en woorden die hij op Amsterdamse gebouwen vond. Hij concentreerde zich op de typografie die deel uitmaakt van architectuur. De reeks van circa tweehonderd foto's brengt de grote diversiteit in beeld van de vele soorten typografische toepassingen op gebouwen, van krullerige Art Nouveau-, tot bolle Amsterdamse School-, tot sculpturale baksteen-, en strakke tegeltypografie.
Amsterdam in Letters presenteert een inspirerende reeks beelden die uitnodigt om geconcentreerd te kijken naar een verschijnsel waar je in je dagelijkse routine makkelijk aan voorbij loopt. De heldere en rijk gedetailleerde fotografie biedt een precieze blik op de textuur, kleuren en materialen. Het boek nodigt uit tot verdere ontdekking van de stad; via de typografie kan ook de architectuur worden geëxploreerd.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Featuring a representative and graphically striking sample of the incredible range of letters, names, words and proverbs to be found on Amsterdam buildings, "Typography and Architecture: Amsterdam in Letters" is a compilation of more than 200 photographs taken by Dutch photographer Maarten Helle. By particularly focusing on typography that was specifically designed or commissioned by the architect of a building, Helle isolates an often forgotten aspect of architecture and of our urban landscape, as these elements are often visually subsumed by the louder yet more ephemeral typographic elements found on billboards, posters and graffiti. Helle's letters endure as architectural traces--often remaining when a building is repurposed--that represent an alternative history of the city.Born in Amsterdam in 1959, Maarten Helle began taking photographs of architecture, typography and Amsterdam in 1993.
