The studio chose “to take a step back and interpret the places of the saga as archetypes of living”, drawing on its own design imagery and buildings with “symbolic connections to the places of the saga”. The result is a series of new landscapes born out of the encounter with J.K. Rowling's stories and designed so that each reader can “reinvent spaces, forms and landscapes based on their own personal experience”. The result is a series of covers that are the fruit of “a holistic and multidisciplinary perspective”, interweaving two apparently distant fields such as fantasy and contemporary architecture.
