Title:VIEWPOINT
Description:
Bluring the definition of “view point” by using elements from public transport windows* to build letters- *(graphic patterns which are used to give passengers a soft and sublte view at the edge where the window fits in its frame of the vehicle. its raster points avoid epilepsy, triggered by the fast fading surroundings.) “viewpoint” puts the reader in a situation where abstract abbreviations become meaningful.

Title: ::egon::CloudCrowd::
Description:
Hello, i found this character simply called ::egon:: ... since the wall is near the stadium i wanted ::egon:: to have the best place to watch ... here the background could be white too.
Technical:
Wallpainting using brushes & wallpaint - before starting the wall needs to become the backgroundcolor - would realize outlines using plansquares.. since the illustration is mostly based on round shapes i would use stencils in all sizes.

Title:Up of the road
Description:
A texture on the wall out of an object that is a characteristic of the city in summertime: the bicycle wheel we imagine to take a lot of used bicycle wheels and to put them up of the road; on our wall. together they will form a landscape of wheels on the white painted wall. the variability is created out of three dimensions, of the fact that they are used, the light and shadows, the rain, the wind.
Technical:
the wall is painted in white. used wheels are positioned on a strict grid (80 x 80cm) they are 3 different dimensions of wheels. the biggest wheel has a diameter of 70cm, the smallest 35cm. the grid creates the basic for an homogenous texture. the wheels are just fixed in their centres so that they can move with the weather changes.

Title:Black meets White
Description:
Clean Black and White, beautifully balanced. I enjoy the idea of spaces usually reserved for saturated advertising content being handed over to clean decorative patterning with no agenda other then pleasing aesthetics.

The image could be printed and then applied to the wall surface, or simply painted directly onto the wall.

Title:Wallpaper
Description:
Information is a huge part of our daily lifes. The internet, one of the big sources, has already been into big discussions. That is why we focuse on another, changing and fast growing origin of information in Switzerland: The daily free newspaper. Everywhere you get those papers. You find them in a box, in the café, at work or even on the seat of the train. Therefore it is important to think about it. It is on the one hand questionable if we get more information or if we get only more paper on the ground – and on the other hand, do we rely on this information? While discussing about the design of this wall, we came over a very traditional method – the wallpaper. They are produced in every possible color with all styles of patterns and with the goal to make the cold wall look nice and homely. With the misuse oft the newspaper as wallpaper we do not only want to hide the wall with a random wallpaper pattern, we want people to think too. The newspapers that two people get every week are enough paper to paste the whole wall. Beyond that it is a document of time because in one way the papers will show the influence of the sun, the weather and the pollution – in another way it shows the whole information of one week on one big place.
Technical:
The materials are very basic and cheap. We just need some paste to fix the wallpaper. The papers will be reused and are found in trains, bars and busses. They can be collected by two people in only one week of time. There is going to be only one copy of each issue. Paste is used very often to glue paper on a wall. It lasts very long. Naturally the paper gets yellow over time. This effect depends on the sun and other conditions as pollution. This seems to be a fascinating point though you can not control it. Because different newspapers will be used in such a diversity and mass, there should be no legal concern.

Title: Bag Bellows Break
Description:
The project proposal refers to the bizarre situation of architectural remaining corner of a large block boundary settlement from the 1940-er years. The block boundary settlement, the sooner the rectangle Bullinger, Herderen and Bienenstrasse source and a peaceful and large, shielded courtyard formed later had the VBZ garage and a large parking lot soft. The linear drawing (straight and dotted lines) of my project on the diesel Wall shows a bellows, which folded in front of the house rests. He could, like a Blasbalg any fill with air and along the road and extend the previous architectural space of the block boundary settlement taking. But now he rests, folded in an area reduced to the diesel Wall. And perhaps, the bellows the activity of a fictitious Blasbalgs on to the European Championship games in the Letzigrund anzuheizen that do not come to roll ...!
Technical:
On the bright facade are about 5 cm wide, straight lines with black aufgemalt. Some lines, which covers a different area, are as dashed lines and thus invisible lines drawn.
