[column width="48%" padding="3%"]Book design and layout of »Heimat Moderne«, a 416 page hard bound book, documenting the cultural festival ‘Heimat, Moderne – Experimentale 1, Leipzig 2005′.
[/column] [column width="48%" padding="0%"]The architectural heritage of post-war Modernism greatly influences the identity of our cities. A total of 60 percent of all urban construction stems from the postwar era and in many cities these functional buildings have long since become a nuisance in the cityscape. This leads to the question of how to handle this inheritance? »Heimat Moderne« documents and elaborates through numerous discussions, pictures and essays the multifaceted aspects of this debate carried out by artists, architects, urban planners, musicians, film directors and publicists. The project was supported by the Kulturstiftung des Bundes. With the design of the book we sought to establish a playful dialogue between the old and the future perception of east-german visual culture, illustrating the confrontation of ‘Heimat’, Modernism and the experimental.

Design Rasmus Koch Studio
Following on from last week’s very Danish influence on SeptemberIndustry, it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you the work of Danish graphic designer Rasmus Koch. After graduation in 1997, he co-founded e-Types ApS, a graphic design agency, which in the late nineties reached international recognition due to its unusual collectivecreativity. Since April 2001, he set up Rasmus Koch Studio in Copenhagen. He has, among many other assignments, created the corporate identity for such prominent clients as Gyldendal—the oldest and largest publishing company in Denmark, The Danish Film Institute and the Information Centre of Danish Crafts.
Today his clients include a wide range of artists and international art institutions. The challenges and possibilities of graphic design in the field of arts are a main focus of his work.
Hope you enjoy this post and I encourage you to Subscribe & follow SI on Twitter – I have some rather sexy fresh stuff lined up for you (dear reader) this Friday… ;)
