Arbeitsgemeinschaft Lesbar – Typografie im Wissensvermittlung – Das Auge liest mit. Über den didaktischen Mehrwert von Typografie

 

The design of texts is an important task – the more complex the content, the more demanding the typography. Whether it is textbooks or worksheets – printed or digital – the text itself is always an essential part of the communication but usually there is not enough time or knowledge to deal with it in detail.

The Arbeitsgemeinschaft Lesbar – Typografie in der Wissensvermittlung draws attention to these deficits by organising this symposium. This two-day event will focus on the benefits and the potential of typography for teachers and learners in knowledge transfer.

Ingo Maurer INTIM. DESIGN OR WHAT?

 

Ingo Maurer was one of the most versatile light designers of our time. Whether it is paper, porcelain or plastic mice – he made everything shine bright. From light bulbs to halogen to OLEDs: he was interested in the developments and applications of technical innovations but also took a critical, sometimes even political, look at these changes. Because the quality of light was particularly important to him. Discover his works at Die Neue Sammlung – The Design Museum.
