Editorial and graphic design with a strong conceptual and typographical bias.
Our designs set out from the assignment’s individual characteristics. Each new project poses a new question that demands a novel answer. Our approach is critical and exploratory, which leads to distinctive results that are highly diverse. No single design is the same.

Kas Oosterhuis. Architecture Goes Wild
‘This book contains a selection of his texts from the early 1990s up to more recent ones varying from thoughts on architecture to transport. He asserts that all true architecture inevitably will be programmed to perform in real time. Computer programs speak the new instrumental language in which potential new worlds are described.’(Publisher’s text)
