Muhammad Rahman
Assistant Professor, Communication Design
During the Pandemic, Professor Rahman collaborated with Professor of Urban Design Vikas Mehta from the School of Planning, University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning, in co-designing his brand-new book on #publicspace, published by Routledge Taylor & Francis Group. It was an insightful process of book design to define and decipher the panoramic point of views of public space by activating subtle aspects of typographic hierarchy and visual interests. A large number of illustrations, images, sketches with relevant succinct texts will make the book a more approachable and enjoyable read across many #interdisciplinary fields. The 5" x 8" book with more than 200 pages frames the robust contents in 3 major sections: #paradoxes, #possibilities and #propositions for a more meaningful public space discourse.
