Karlssonwilker – författare

Finding an Identity for Calder Gardens traces the design process behind the visual identity of Calder Gardens, the new cultural campus of the Calder Foundation in Philadelphia. Developed by the renowned New York-based design studio Karlssonwilker in collaboration with the foundation, the project unfolded in dialogue with the architecture by Herzog & de Meuron and garden landscaping by Piet Oudolf. This book gathers keynotes, visual references, design sketches and drafts, retrospective commentary and an interview, conveying a rich narrative of design in progress. The book provides unique insight into a contemporary design methodology, making visible how complex cultural projects are conceived, tested, refi ned and communicated.
