‘The Architecture of Closed Worlds’

A new book documents the award-winning exhibition at the Storefront for Art and Architecture.

The book explores the development of closed systems in 20th century architecture, design and engineering, such as outer space capsules, submarines and office buildings.

The book design is a closed system in itself, complete with its own custom typeface, graphic methodology and organizational structure.

The custom CLOSED font visually echoes the confined, self-sustaining physical environments, removing as much negative space as possible from within and between its letterforms.

Retrospective: London Design Festival

London Design Festival has been an annual celebration of the power of creativity for over 20 years. Since 2008, Pentagram partner Domenic Lippa has served as the LDF’s creative director, responsible every September for the design of a new visual identity. By inventively remixing a few key elements — typography, a signature red (“the colour of London”), and LDF's simple monogram — the program unifies hundreds of events while reaffirming London’s status as a global design capital.
