Photos:Olafur Eliasson.

This is an architecture book with more descriptive power than words alone could possible achieve.

The book consists of 454 pages each laser-cut to produce a section representing 2.2cm of the artists actual house in Copenhagen, Denmark.

In essence it is a sophisticated flip-book designed, not to give the sensation of motion or animation, but more to convey spatial relationships of the rooms and building elements to each other. The book was conceived by Olafur Eliasson and designed by Michael Heimann, Claudia Baulesch groenland.berlin. It was published by the Library Council of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2006. Only 225 books were produced.
