We talked a bit about collecting most work in some publications/pamphlets. You already had some fine proposals for layout. Here is (a link) another one, from a master course at BAS last year.  Notice also the reduced colour sheme.(if the link does not work try : http://issuu.com/nadavkochavi_1985/docs/nature_culture_parks_compendium_bas/1)

Regarding the axonometrics: you might like to try/test the "japanese" variation, i.e referr to the Pamphlet #9 issue  (see post below for excerpt views). It consist of 90/30 views, meaning that one front(facade) is always in real scale.

On capturing the ordinary down to earth

"Photographer Andreas Gefeller sees the world through a strange lens, offering the viewer pictures that at first glance seem composed of abstract, color-saturated elements and only later resolve into something completely familiar--chairs on a beach, lines on pavement, grass on an urban plaza--but yet not In Supervisions, his most recent series, Gefeller employs a complicated photographic technique to scan the surfaces of urban spaces, creating extraordinary images more akin to hard-edge abstract paintings than landscape photography. Composites of hundreds of individual shots, these puzzling, striking works appear as bird's eye views or observations shot from fantasy angles. A testament to Gefeller's interest in the twilight zone that becomes ever denser between reality and fiction, Supervisions reveals itself to the viewer in stages, offering up elements that appear first as abstractions, then as familiar elements of our environment, and finally as impossible visions of the world that surrounds us."

More on how Gefeller works on a videoclip available here.
