A long highway in black and white is suspended without supports from the lower left of the book cover to the upper right, where it curves to the left. The lower third of the cover shows on and off ramps to the highway, shaped like two nested loops, formed to resemble a needle with a highway being threaded through like thread. The road is dotted with small cars. Below the highway is a view of a town in red ink, as if from a tall building. Small people dot the open areas, and trees and architectural loops fill in the rest of the space. The upper third of the cover reads, in black centered text, “Raum, Zeit, Architektur/ Die Entstehung/ einer neuen Tradition/ S. Giedion.”
