Helvetica

Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which will celebrate its 50th birthday in 2007) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. The film is an exploration of urban spaces in major cities and the type that inhabits them, and a fluid discussion with renowned designers about the choices and aesthetics behind their use of type.

Helvetica encompasses the worlds of design, advertising, psychology, and communication, and invites us to take a second look at the thousands of words we see every day.

Wind Shaped Pavilion

Michael Jantzen's Wind Shaped Pavilion is is a design proposal for a large fabric structure that can be used as a public or private pavilion. I think this is an interesting concept and pretty cool in fact. When the wind blows, it rotates each of the six segments around a central frame. At the same time generating electrical power for its nighttime illumination.
