Sandi Gazic – Between Myths and Reality

My project reveals how human beings respond to natural dangers. In the past, the  myth of the devil and demons was told to overcome the unknown and the fear. Today,  concrete walls and high-tech monitoring have taken over the task of protecting built structures.  This project depicts the juxtaposition of myth and reality from the Illgraben catchment  area to the Diablerets mountain range and the Aletsch Glacier, which are all located in  Valais in the Swiss Alps. All these places have a long history of dealing with natural disasters,  such as avalanches, outburst floods caused by glacier melt, debris flows and rockfalls.

Image Creation BA1S2 – Insta Books

with Guy Meldem

In the age of social media, Instagram has become a true space for graphic experimentation. This semester, first-year Graphic Design students created a printed edition of at least 100 pages, exploring the question: what does it mean to design for Instagram? Through this investigation, they examined the platform’s visual codes, its attention-driven dynamics, and the graphic forms it inspires. Each project reflects on how these creations can be translated, extended, or reinterpreted in the digital space. Balancing printed matter and online presence, these works outline new ways of inhabiting both images and networks.

Genius Loci - Spirit of the place

Genius Loci - Spirit of the place

with Nicole Udry

Genius Loci, or the spirit of the place, refers to the unique identity or essence of a location. In architecture, this principle suggests that the specific characteristics of a place should be reflected and extended in a design. In the case of the second-year graphic design students, they have applied this principle to communication projects focused on promoting or extending the identity of a particular place through design. Their work likely explores how to visually capture and communicate the essence of a space, using graphic design elements that resonate with the architectural features or history of the place.

Redesign 24-25 - S1

with Giliane Cachin

As part of the course given by Giliane Cachin, 1st year students are required to produce an edition by examining the different axes that make it up. The course offers a study of various grid systems and the fundamentals of micro-typography. During the semester, students will look for the best way to structure and arrange the content they have chosen (or which has been assigned to them, depending on the semester's data). Some essential rules to know in terms of printing and bindings will be reviewed at the end of the semester, in order to bring the conceptualized object to life.
