Livro dos Papéis

(Book of Papers)

During my MA's thesis, I bound this book has an experience — how to bind several big pages with unique works which illustrated the research projects of several other MA students of Drawing and Printing Techniques. This project was coordinated by Prof. Dr. Graciela Machado with the intention of aggregate all final results from different researches related with paper in a single book that other students, teachers or researches who come after can consult and use for their own projects. 

I participated in this project as designer and bookbinder of the Book of Papers. The works were all on single sheets which I had to glue first to create booklets and so have a stronger binding. Then I chose to bind with a In-Strap Sewing, where the booklets are sewed to straps which are covered with parts of the final results by the authors of the book.
