Although the Chinese name of BAM 百安木 (bǎi-ān-mù) was chosen purely on phonetic grounds, it made us think of a 'hundred years safe wood’, a column. Conveniently using this coincidence, the book grid was constructed of columns which we chose to make visible throughout, in a pastel shade of neon orange. The columns move rhythmically as they try to keep up with the multitude of architecture projects portrayed in this 520 page portfolio whopper.
