Folder designs interfaces, publications, and systems for organizing, encountering, and carrying information forward. We help museums, universities, civic institutions, and others engaged in the stewardship and sharing of knowledge create ways for language, media, and material to surface and endure.
We are interested in what happens to information over time, and how form can reveal the connections that give it meaning. Projects come in a variety of configurations rooted in partnerships that honor the material and its strategic presentation.
A Section of Now: Social Norms and Rituals as Sites for Architectural Intervention is the companion publication to the exhibition presented by the Canadian Centre for Architecture.

The graphic design for the show reflects the corporate backdrop of the themes through logo-like supergraphics which read sharply while remaining formally vague enough to encompass conflicting propositions.
