This publication catalogues the work of Swedish architect Bernt Nyberg and accompanied an exhibition of photographs of his work.
The design of this book is based on the Pell series (or a series of numbers quite like it), using integers to approximate the square root of two—a reference to the square that structures much of Nyberg’s work. These numbers were generated using a custom python library that can be found here: github.com/njmattes/pellish.
