DOKUMENT designforum Wien 2006–2010

4-years-publication

The book documents activities of designforum Vienna in the first four years of its existence. It breathes a raw and strong power with tendencies to an open discourse. An approach which is reflected also in the design: a thick bound portfolio of work encased by two heavy cardboard covers, embossment, open spine, conceptual playful typography, experiments of codes and space in the opening spreads of the different chapters, infolded in a double-sided poster, which gives variation in appearance, underlines the procedural and temporary character of the book and generates a flexibility of viewpoints through seemingly two different covers.
