The final magazine features a minimalist aesthetic with spacious layouts, refined typography, and deliberate pacing that reflect Ban’s architectural clarity. Visual hierarchy and material contrasts are used to emphasize both structural discipline and organic flow, resulting in a publication that reads with rhythm and spatial awareness.
