Curridabat Ciudad Dulce

The design emerges from the vision of the local government called Ciudad Dulce (Sweet City); its purpose is to promote a positive experience for all citizens, by seeking inspiration in nature. Hence, it is from nature that this liquid brand arises; it is built from shapes in repetition, patterns, organization, and structures present in the natural environment, just like honeycombs. These patterns support a flexible, vivid and easily identifiable visual system that helps the brand connect with a wide variety of audiences with which it interacts.

Today Happiness

"Xi" has been the Chinese culture of congratulation, especially for the most important things in life, such as marriage.

Three product series, video, music and web together present brand.

Wolffstrunk

Graphic reduction and precision characterize the visual identity of the brand Wolffstrunk.

Lamellae

Lamellae uses a bespoke multi-agent computational model to generate a geometrically complex but refined and conceptually precise shelving system that can be endlessly customized to adapt to existing spaces and the display of unique objects. Although it has an almost baroque sculptural presence, awareness of fabrication and assembly constraints built into the generative design allow it to be realized through various efficiencies: swarf cutting reduces cnc machine time and allows flatpack delivery, assembly sequence is self-supporting, and precise joinery ensures accurate placement and fit..

Lazarus Effekt

The three information graphics serve as a basis to introduce the topic of the Lazarus-Effect. They include "The Six Major Mass Extinctions", "Death Watch of the Species", as well as an information graphic of the "Local Fern Plants and Flowering Plants" (based on the Rote Liste, 2018). The Lazarus Effect is based on the theme of the Lazarus-Effect, as coined by paleontologist David Jablonski. This pertains to the unintentional rediscovery (by accident, through expedition or through relocation projects) of a previously lost or considered extinct form of life.
