Working The Land



This is a striking looking invitation for an exhibition held last year. Emerging Architects is a series of events run by Buro Happold to promote and expose the work of some of the world’s most imaginative and engaging new architects. This exhibition, Working The Land, showcases the work of Haptic Architects.

 

Haptic, says, “Working the Land’ presents some of the recent work of Haptic through a variety of mediums; from traditional architectural images and drawings to an interactive installation entitled “Light Touch”. The exhibition provides an insight into Haptic’s ethos, to work carefully and strategically with the site context, whilst focusing on materiality and craftsmanship.”

The invitation is 285mm square and is printed in two pantone colours, green and grey. It is further complimented by the wonderful deep embossing...

It is printed on our Matrisse 350gsm, which has a high bulk and is ideal for embossing as it gives a perfectly crisp embossed finish

Print and the superb embossing is by Benwells in London.

ROOFLIFE!

On Friday evening, I was lucky enough to go to a party hosted by Haptic Architects and BOB Design. The event was part of the London Festival of Architecture on 6 &7 July 2012.

ROOFLIFE! SPECULATING ON LONDON'S UNDERUSED ROOFTOPS... An installation and event that speculates on the future of London's Rooftops. The event was held on the rooftop of the Islington studio space that they share, taking in 360 degree views of the London skyline and across the Kings Cross area in particular.

An amazing rooftop garden was created together with a scafolding skeleton (in case of rain) and "crow's nest" for the DJ (see below).

The views are spectacular, as you can see from my pic below of The Shard, which had been officially opened, the previous evening.

The garden was created by Ian Jackson Landscape Architecture and Holmes & Sons and contained 34 different herbs, fruits and vegtables, some of which were suitable for using to mix with the drinks! The pic on the right shows the beautiful signage.

The picture below shows the display in the studio which invites you to look through the peepholes and see the various well known landmarks:

...and the guide of all 34 herbs, vegtable and fruits were printed on a lovely long list 1000mm x 100mm, on our Offenbach Bible 60gsm!

Thanks to BOB Design and Haptic for inviting me and for a great party.

HAPTIC

I've just received printed samples of this superb identity project for architects, Haptic.

Rules have been used to create letterforms (see above) which have then been translated into a fantastic emboss and deboss for the business cards, pictured below.

The effect on the business cards is created using a multi-level die which embosses and debosses in the same pass on the machine. Fantastically simple and amazingly effective - nothing more to be said!

Materials used are Matrisse Cotton 110gsm for the letterhead and Matrisse 320gsm for the business card.

Design is by BOB Design in London. Creative Director is Mireille Burkhardt.

Print and embossing is by Benwells in London.
