Summer University in Veneto 2024

In September 2024, 3rd year students explored the rich heritage of Italy's Veneto region, an area at the crossroads of artistic, cultural and industrial history. The trip gave the students an invaluable opportunity to immerse themselves between tradition and innovation, and to experience different facets of design and publishing through enriching encounters.

Verona

In Verona, a visit to the Fedrigoni paper mill, which specialises in the creation of top-of-the-range paper, gave them an insight into the manufacturing process and enabled them to design a collaborative project based on paper samples. The students also had the opportunity to explore the precious collection of manuscripts in the Biblioteca del Capitolare, a unique witness to the history of the written word.

Treviso

On the way to Venice, a stop at Carlo Scarpa's Brion Tomb gave us an insight into the architecture of this funerary monument. In Treviso, a meeting with former student Federico Barbon led to a fascinating discussion on book design.

Venice

In Venice, they discovered the Art Biennale, exploring the exhibitions at the Arsenale and the Giardini. At the same time, a meeting with Benjamin Reichen from the Åbäke collective enabled them to find out more about his involvement in a screen-printing workshop dedicated to the rehabilitation of prisoners. A visit to the Grafiche Veneziane printing works rounded off this immersion in contemporary publishing.

Video Clips – 2025

with Sami Benhadj

Music video projects created within the framework of the Sequence course supervised by Sami Benhadj. Each 2nd-year student in the Graphic Design, Media & Interaction Design & Photography Bachelor programs produced an individual music video. Taking an existing track as a starting point, every project sought to translate the music into images, exploring visual storytelling, rhythm, and staging. Students were encouraged to experiment and develop a creative and personal approach, resulting in original graphic worlds where sound and image resonate with one another.

Type Design BA1 S1 2024/2025

with Robert Huber

  Designing a logotype means defining a strong visual identity anchored in a specific context. First-year Graphic Design students developed a hand-drawn logotype based on a subject, theme, or environment of their own choosing. This creation was informed by prior research in typographic archives. Each student produced a reference booklet and a specimen system based on six or more typefaces, to ground their visual and conceptual exploration. Balancing typographic culture and contemporary expression, each project investigates what makes a visual identity truly distinctive.  
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.

ALICE FRANCHETTI WORKSHOP – RICHARD NEUTRA

with Alice Franchetti

During this workshop, each student was tasked with designing a poster inspired by the architectural legacy of Richard Neutra. Drawing from his modernist philosophy and formal principles — clean lines, transparency, strict geometry, and integration with the landscape — each student visually reinterpreted Neutra’s ideas within a 2D graphic format.
