Public Symposium
Swiss Graphic Design and Typography Revisited
Experts’ Panel Meeting
ZHdK Zurich, Toni-Areal
3–5 May 2018

The research project «Swiss Graphic Design and Typography Revisited» focuses on how Swiss graphic design and typography has achieved its on-going legitimacy, reputation and status. In three sub-projects, mixed groups of doctoral students and researchers from seven institutions investigate different aspects of Swiss graphic design – its teaching, its networks and its forms of publication.

The public Experts’ Panel Meeting presents all case studies by research team members, followed by panel discussions with Prof. Dr. Jeremy Aynsley (Brighton University), Prof. Dr. Barbara Bader (Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart), Prof. Dr. Claude Hauser (Université de Fribourg), Prof. Dr. Catherine de Smet (Université Paris-VIII) and Prof. Dr. Teal Triggs (Royal College of Art, London).
The symposium will also include a keynote by Prof. Dr. Jeremy Aynsley, a presentation of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage and its Swiss implementation by Dr. David Vitali and Julien Vuilleumier, and a guided tour through the exhibition «F+F» by Michael Hiltbrunner.
