Moni­teurs has grown in re­cent years. More pro­jects, more teams means more meet­ings. With the re­struc­tur­ing of the of­fice spread over two floors, it be­came clear that the meet­ing rooms and their oc­cu­pancy must be bet­ter com­mu­ni­cated to every­one. A team from Moni­teurs de­vel­oped an ob­ject that en­ables bet­ter com­mu­ni­ca­tion be­tween the work­space on the up­per floor and the con­fer­ence room in the base­ment. It was to be com­bined anal­o­gously with dig­i­tal and im­ple­mented in 3D print­ing.

Moni­teurs ini­ti­ated the “In­fo­tracks” pro­ject in con­junc­tion with De­sign­mai 2006. It is a pho­to­graphic col­lec­tion of graph­ics and ty­pog­ra­phy seen in the ur­ban space of Berlin. As such it shows how sym­bols, colours and struc­tures shape a city and what vi­sual lan­guage the city speaks. In the web-based im­age archive, di­rec­tions are given from the Moni­teurs of­fice to the De­signcity ex­hi­bi­tion hall. The lo­ca­tion of each photo is recorded on a map of Berlin. The “vis­i­tor” re­traces the var­i­ous routes. He fo­cuses on var­i­ous themes. He dis­cov­ers trails and paths along which he moves every day.
