Site Specific - Detroit, MI by Ecohaven Project | Make Your Own Book
Ecohaven Project is pleased to announce that the Site Specific - Detroit, MI art book collaboration between Jennifer Hoffman + Geoff Hoffman is now available for purchase through Blurb. We chose Blurb to self-publish our book after seeing their collaboration with Dwell magazine in their recent photo competition. This was our first book + we learned a lot in the process. It's not cheap to self-publish a book, but this truly is a labor of love + an important viewpoint that Ecohaven Project wants to explore. We feel that as designers, architects + artists we need to really look at how + where we live. To us, this is part of the holistic + multidisciplinary approach that design is gravitating towards. This way of working ultimately supports sustainability of communities + celebrates where we live.
As the book world becomes more digital - art books are becoming more than just books. We look at Site Specific as being an art object for display (with lots of beauty + joy inside). It's an investment that is beautiful + means something. The book has a hardcover with a dust jacket + is a square 7" x 7" format - the images themselves are 6" x 6". This size supports the book being an intimate experience + really shares what our intention was: to make beautiful images that capture the unique character + inspiration that we experienced in Detroit during the short 24 hours we had there. The book is a visual story that works in unison with our corresponding website posts. Please read the Hearts Detroit + Heidelberg Project Visit posts for more information on what we learned.
