NATO: The Military Codification System for the Ordering of Everything in the World

The NATO Codification System (NCS) is a military inventory which is both complex and comprehensive, using at its base a four-digit coding system to identify, classify and number items of supply. Since discovering a file on the NATO Codification System, Suzanne Treister became fascinated by the nature of the codification, using it to develop an encyclopaedic series of watercolours. This book contains 186 of these intricate still life renditions of diverse objects.
