The Window Is the Point
Academic staff
Christian Lange Emilio Patuzzo Marco Baravalle Program
BA Major Design Semester
2025/26 SS The course examines the "window" as a conceptual model of visual communication—as a metaphor, a device of perception, and a structural principle for layout, grids, typography, white space, and interactive elements. Students analyze historical and contemporary examples from art and design history to digital interfaces and use them as a basis for developing their own experimental design projects. The aim is to create projects that intentionally shape attention, visibility, and meaning in print and digital formats, staging them spatially.
