Grüne Dächer. Geschichte, Planung, Gestaltung presents sixteen pioneering green roof projects across Switzerland as a cohesive dossier, combining architectural cross-sections with ecological research to create an accessible atlas of sustainable urban habitats. Authored by Jonas Frei and published by Edition Hochparterre in Zürich with Stephan Brenneisen (ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences). The book was designed by Upset in collaboration with Valentin Hindermann. The cover features embossed black foil, and the publication is produced using Swiss brochure binding, giving it a tangible, dossier-like presence.
Typography is set in ABC Walter Neue, designed by Dinamo in collaboration with Omnigroup. For this project, Upset customized the typeface with squared dots on select characters—an adaptation realized with permission from Dinamo—giving the atlas a distinctive typographic voice while maintaining the structural clarity of Walter’s design.
