The New Normal

"You could call us book architects. We work with spatial layouts, relationships, and sequences, play with emptiness and fullness, condense and expand content. As book designers, we are interested in creating a graphic architecture that can deal with heterogeneous material."

Meet Swiss collective PIN—the designers behind The New Normal book, published by Strelka Press and Park Books. In their interview with Strelka Mag, Larissa Kasper, Rosario Florio, and Samuel Bänziger talk about their creative process and method, and the entangled relationship between the aesthetics of the digital and the medium of the book.

Book Design as Architecture: An interview with Larissa Kasper, Rosario Florio & Samuel Bänziger Meet the designers behind the Swiss collective PIN.

The Terraforming is an interdisciplinary postgraduate design research program that explores the geotechnical, geourban, and geopolitical conditions by which a viable planetarity can be conceived, modeled, and articulated.

The second year of the program will emphasize remaking ourselves (and remaking the planet thereby) and focus on the themes of Populations, Zoning Earth, Anthropoforming, and Planetarity. In 2021 the think-tank will host contributions from many new visiting faculty, including Nandita Sharma, Thomas Moynihan, Anya Bernstein, Nicholas DeMonchaux, Chen Qiufan, Reza Negarestani, Blaise Agüera y Arcas, and many others.
