The project ‘The Alphabetical Room’ is a systematic exploration of the boundaries and limits of writing within a strictly calculated mathematical three-dimensional grid within a flat digital space. Engaging with the three-dimensional grid in a two-dimensional digital space has always been an intriguing matter for graphic designers, programmers, creative coders, and visual artists.

Starting from Josef-Müller Brockmann’s grid proposal for the design of interior spaces in 1961, the perspective of the viewer changes throughout the pages of the leaflet as does the resolution of the three-dimensional grids in which the hypothetical letterforms are displayed. 

Also, I would like to thank Prof. Pierre Pané-Farré for guiding this project.
