The subject of the master’s thesis is the ”City Book”, a group of non-traditional handbound books-objects, which aims to develop the old bookbinding techniques, encourage modern people increasingly dependent on digital technology to remember forgotten books and reading as a spiritual and cultural resource of heritage. The master’s paper consists of two parts: theoretical and practical. The first chapter provides a systematic chronology of script occurrence and its development. It describes the development of the book. Also the status of the book in today’s digital era is discussed. The second chapter provides a brief historical overview of bookbinding. It analyzes the evolution and methods of bookbinding. The Italian method of bookbinding is described more broadly. The history of the development of bookbinding in Lithuania is also provided. The third chapter presents the creative interpretations of Lithuanian and foreign artists on the topic of the book-object. Works of contemporary designers, visually reflecting the chosen topic, are analyzed. The fourth chapter presents a questionnaire aimed to establish the approach of the modern human to classical and digital books and reading. The fifth chapter provides an analysis of the concept of the collection, presents non-traditional searches of the creative and technology solution of a group of books-object, the design stages, the final projects and the execution speed. The methods used in the theoretical part: theoretical studies, systematic and comparative analysis of scientific literature, search of analogues, research. The collection consists of a group of five books. These are books-bags made of natural leather and paper. The handbags are colourfully understated, consistent with the minimalist style. The artistic expression means are not abundant; easily understood basic structures are used as well as echoing geometric shapes. Pure, clean and clear vertical symmetrical and asymmetrical lines and plastic forms prevail. The conclusions summarize the result of the carried out work. In the annexes, a CD, analogues and samples of the works of artists creating on the topic of the book-object are provided. |
