The “So­ci­ety for Ex­pe­ri­en­tial Graphic De­sign” hon­or­ing de­sign work that con­nects peo­ple to place by pro­vid­ing di­rec­tion, sto­ry­telling, and com­pelling ex­pe­ri­ences in pub­lic spaces since 1987 with the SEGD Global De­sign Award. This year Moni­teurs wins the Award for the book Air­port Wayfind­ing. We are very pleased! > SEGD Global De­sign Award 2022

The “Sign De­sign So­ci­ety” in Lon­don is aimed at all those in­ter­ested in in­for­ma­tion and graphic de­sign in build­ings and pub­lic spaces. Lec­tures on the sub­ject are of­fered reg­u­larly for mem­bers and in­ter­ested par­ties. On 30 June, Heike Nehl and Sibylle Schlaich will take their book on the road to Lon­don and pre­sent their work.. > Event

The In­ter­na­tional Air­port and Avi­a­tion Con­fer­ence “SMART-Air­port Cities & Re­gions” fo­cuses on how a sus­tain­able re­set for air­ports is pos­si­ble. Moni­teurs is rep­re­sented at the fair and Sibylle Schlaich speaks about “Air­port Wayfind­ing, an es­sen­tial tool for trans­for­ma­tion” in the ses­sion “De­sign & De­vel­op­ment, a sus­tain­able re­set for air­ports”. > to the web­site

The new Kun­sthalle Praha re­vi­tal­izes a for­mer sub­sta­tion in the his­toric cen­ter of Prague. The build­ing was largely gut­ted and re­built. Parts of the ex­ist­ing build­ing have been pre­served, cre­at­ing an ex­cit­ing spa­tial ex­pe­ri­ence with many in­ter­me­di­ate lev­els, vis­tas and ex­its for vis­i­tors. A com­plex task for Moni­teurs. We were happy to take on the chal­lenge. The Kun­sthalle opened its doors in spring.

Ter­mi­nal build­ing T2 has opened, adding six mil­lion pas­sen­gers a year to BER's ca­pac­ity and ca­pa­ble of han­dling around 2,000 pas­sen­gers dur­ing peak hours. It is the fastest-built ter­mi­nal pro­ject in Ger­many. Moni­teurs, air­port wayfind­ing sys­tem ex­pe­ri­enced, col­lab­o­rated. Ar­chi­tec­turally, the fo­cus is on func­tion­al­ity and al­lowed a dif­fer­ent ap­proach to the de­sign of ori­en­ta­tion.

“Saatkul­tur” is a non-profit pro­ject that uses or­ganic seed bags to gen­er­ate do­na­tions for hu­man­i­tar­ian aid. The pro­ject was ini­ti­ated by Jutta Nachtwey. Moni­teurs was happy to sup­port this pro­ject. We de­signed and im­ple­mented the “web show­case”. > to the web­site

The De­part­ment of Ty­pog­ra­phy and Com­mu­ni­ca­tion at the Uni­ver­sity of Read­ing in Eng­land reg­u­larly in­vites of­fices to pre­sent their work. Anita Meier-Wal­ter from Moni­teurs is a wel­come guest. The top­ics were the lead sys­tem pro­jects Kun­sthalle Mannheim and Berlin Bran­den­burg Air­port. This time the talk with lec­turer Joan Za­la­cain de­vel­oped into a lively dis­cus­sion with the stu­dents about writ­ings, pro­ject du­ra­tion as well as main­te­nance and bud­get of wayfind­ing sys­tems.

Stu­dents of the Mün­ster School of De­sign or­gan­ise the “Fo­rum Gestal­tung“ every se­mes­ter. In this lec­ture se­ries, they in­vite de­sign and me­dia pro­fes­sion­als, pho­tog­ra­phers, il­lus­tra­tors and ad­ver­tis­ers to talk about their prac­tice and their work. One of the stu­dents' favourite can­di­dates was the Moni­teurs of­fice. Heike Nehl spoke about our work.

16 Tech is re­veal­ing the de­sign of a new mul­ti­modal bridge that will con­nect the 16 Tech In­no­va­tion Dis­trict to In­di­anapolis’ re­search/​med­ical cor­ri­dor and down­town. Moni­teurs is proud to be part of the team, re­spon­si­ble for the wayfind­ing. Read more about the struc­ture that will be the first of its kind in the United States: > 16 TECH

To­gether with Prof. In­dra Kupfer­schmid, Sibylle Schlaich is teach­ing at the Hochschule der Bilden­den Kün­ste Saar this win­ter se­mes­ter. Signs, slips of pa­per, signs in­di­cate where we are or where we should go. Al­ready from one copy we have to think about how it looks, where it hangs, whom it should ad­dress, and where it points. How does guid­ing work? What are the types - and qual­i­ties - of paths? In this pro­ject, we will dis­cuss ori­en­ta­tion, signs and guid­ance sys­tems, lend a hand our­selves and de­sign an in­di­vid­ual wayfind­ing sys­tem.
