Federazione Architetti Svizzeri/Bund Schweizer Architekten
If you’re a Swiss architect you don’t want to miss to the 111th general assembly of the FAS/BSA. You will receive a very special invitation: an accordion book of postcards that illustrates buildings of exceptional architectural relevance in Bellinzona that you can admire on the occasion of the Grand Tour of June.
Visual identity for the 13th edition of Chiasso Letteraria
Taboo is this year’s specific theme of the great literary festival of Chiasso. Therefore the visual identity it’s all about going beyond the rules. Massive title speaks in a loud voice using classic colours of prohibition black and red, accompanied by bizarre forms of censorship, erasure, and mysterious images, maybe a sort of subliminal messages. Between sacred and profane.
Graphic and exhibition design for Città di Lugano
The city offers plenty of possibilities of professional training and job opportunity. For the biennial Expo dedicated to young people we designed a special visual identity based on flashy colours, statuary letters, abstract symbols.
