Description:
Art direction and graphic design for Time To Play, a book by Scau Architecture published by Archipress Editions. “In the run-up to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Time to Play explores the many facets of play in order to understand how it shapes our cities and our societies. The pages of this exquisite corpse include texts on the experience of grieving in video games, play therapy in psychiatric asylums, bigorexia or the practice of sport to excess, the unbalanced rules of the international trade game, the porous boundaries between sporting fervor and sacred rites, the great history of color and its symbolism in sports, the architecture of addiction with casinos, the dangers of online betting, gender equality in French sports, parkour and skateboarding or the art of reclaiming the city, etc.”
