The volume Looking at the City: Architectural and Archaeological Perspectives, edited by Mantha Zarmakoupi, Morris Russell, and Josephine Chidsey Williams, brings together architects, architectural historians, and archaeologists to explore the study of urban areas through a multidisciplinary lens. The book addresses the complexity of the ancient urban fabric, the factors shaping its development, and the different yet converging methodologies employed by archaeology and architecture in understanding both ancient and modern cities. The design concept was developed to support this academic and visual dialogue, emphasizing clarity, readability, and coherence across diverse contributions. Typography, layout, and image integration were carefully structured to balance scholarly content with visual accessibility, ensuring that the publication reflects its role as both a rigorous academic resource and a visually engaging exploration of the city.
