Elements is a collection of 15 books accompanying the exhibition Elements of Architecture at the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale, curated by Rem Koolhaas. Totalling 2,336 pages, the single volumes and the box edition were designed Dutch graphic designer Irma Boom, a specialist in book making.

Concerning the use ofNeuzeit S, Irma Boom explains in a 2012 interview that the font is her "all-time favorite typeface, because it is so limited, it has book and heavy, no italics, no light, very simple." For Project Japan, another book by Rem Koolhaas, Irma Boom used Neuzeit, too.
