Geisel Library by Nico Tracey
The Geisel Library at UC San Diego — with its inverted pyramid form and concrete cantilevers — is one of brutalism's most dramatic gestures, and Nico Tracey's graphic design treatment does full justice to its strangeness. Bold color fields separate the structure into distinct visual planes, emphasizing the building's defiance of gravity. The composition is tightly controlled: no unnecessary detail, only the essential forms that make this building so immediately recognisable. The portrait orientation suits the library's upward-expanding silhouette perfectly.
Produced in our Berlin studio on cotton canvas, this canvas print captures the full depth of Tracey's palette — texture and warmth that elevate it beyond any flat print.
