Bratislava a jej premeny — Most SNPAtelier Lukas Vanco

The book captures the process of build of Most SNP (SNP Bridge), recognized brutalist bridge in Bratislava, Slovakia.

The book is designed as a nuance of connections where juxtaposed worlds come together. History versus present, monochrome versus color, process versus finish. Headlines, facts and timeline are horizontally composed to anchor the visual and other text contents that helps to create a specific rhythm while reading.

Each of eight chapters starts with an archive photography, continues through full spread photo collage – compilation of half archive and half modern photography together to create the whole image of change (these collage pages are dissected with a page with technical fact about the bridge) that smoothly pass into the main content – comparative photography spreads accompanied by timeline.

Haptic quality became crucial when it comes to switching between history and modern period so radical contrast between used papers plays an important role in this book.
