The New Typologists Association welcomes you to:
THE TYPOLOGY PROJECT!
This term we will design!
Yes, simply design, as coming up with simple things is not that simple after all. Sounds good? – Then join us on a journey of Observation, Inspiration, Creation, Iteration, Variation, Modification, Adaptation, Transformation and Innovation!
THE TYPOLOGY PROJECT aims at training your muscles as ‘Gestalter:innen’ and ‘smart observers’ through an understanding for archetypes, and the evolution of typologies as being a language embedded in our various cultures.
You will research specific typologies of your choice, reflect on why objects that surround us have evolved as they did, and ultimately develop them further in order, to possibly become new typologies in their own right.
Part focus of this course is to get you into the making fast. Doing the legwork of iteration and alternating between experiment and critical analysis is key. Observing and Doing so to say. This will enable you to engage in a process where you deal with detailing and perfecting your design proposals. We will have an emphasis on model quality and finish of prototypes.
As outcome, we aim at presenting THE TYPOLOGY PROJEKT in the formats of a curated exhibition happening in spring 2026 and a print publication. These will be integral part of the course and developed through various work sessions on Tuesdays.
Guest of honor and acclaimed Designer Matti Klenell from Stockholm, Sweden will join us as a Lehrbeauftragter. He will be visiting us in Berlin for a Masterclass on his own work and coaching you through a couple of workshops and seminars.
