The publication Ugly Beautiful or Both explores a maligned brutalist building in Madison, Wisconsin. Using a custom typeface based on the building's drawings, original photographs, and a layout that translates the architectural style into a graphic layout. The content of the book strives to humanize a very criticized building by demystifying architectural theories. As a whole, and like the building, the style is sculptural, holds a degree of transparency of structure, and aims to deviate from what is expected.
