Workshop on afrikan alphabets, to introduce writing systems as a source of typographical inspiration. This is a workshop for students who love typography and the aim is to open their world up to a different take on type and writing.

Lust | Thomas Castro + Jeroen Barendse

Using Torino as an model, the students will analyze a complex urban system, and offer their resulting ideas in a “quickscan” that emphasizes the edge where new media and information technologies, architecture and urban systems and graphic design overlap. Moreover, additional goals of the workshop will be to expose the participants to advanced ideas and methodologies in design research and conceptual, editorial graphic design and authorship.
