This book cover features a modernist design with sharp geometric shapes and a bold blue-and-white color scheme. A large triangle and circular cut-out create movement and contrast, drawing the viewer’s eye across the composition. The typography is professional and classic, with a serif font for the title and an italic font for the author’s name. This minimalist, abstract style matches the book’s academic focus, giving it a serious and structured feel—much like the architectural industry it explores.
Published in 1984 by MIT Press, the book analyzes how architecture firms operate within society. Its cover reflects the design trends of the time, influenced by the International Typographic Style and Bauhaus principles, which favored clarity and simplicity.
