Discussing Time Book by Zona Yuechen Guan Discussing Time is a collective book design project for the typographic sculptures with the letter time. The designer gathered a group of people to think and discuss time and make sculptures based on their expressions. The idea of the designer Zona's sculptures originates from the natural phenomenon of ice melting into the water. She wants to make the audiences experience the passage of time while seeing the sculpture. The book design combines 16th century book design elements with modern techniques to span the idea of time.
