Grischata Graubünden zwischen Wahn und Wirklichkeit. Ein Buch.
Graubünden’s statistical data have been placed in relation to three imaginary graphic models, «mountain», «plain» and «valley»; these also serve as chapters, according to which the content is given a colour coding. Graphics and illustrations invite access to the succinct and frequently ironical texts, anecdotes and stories that comment on the statistics. The starting point is the entire rock mass of which Graubünden is composed – a mass of 13,096 cubic kilometres. A presentation ripe for production, combining theoretical features with those of a model, and occupying a region somewhere between specialist literature and the tourist publicity spot.
Comments of the nominators
This placement of statistical data in a graphic relationship makes a convincing impression – both in the conception, in the form and in terms of the message put across.
