Swiss Graphic Design and Typography Revisited 

Experts’ Panel Meeting

ZHdK Zurich, Toni-Areal, May 3–5, 2018



The research project “Swiss Graphic Design and Typography Revisited” focuses on how Swiss graphic design and typography has achieved its on-going legitimacy, reputation and status. The three-year project started in October 2016 and is the biggest research collaboration in the design field ever funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. In the three sub-projects, mixed groups of doctoral students and researchers from seven institutions investigate different aspects of Swiss graphic design – its teaching, networks and forms of publication.



The first public Expert Panel Meeting will devote half a day to each sub-project topic including presentations of the case studies by research team members, together with a presentation by an associate researcher of the project, each followed by a question-and-answer session. Each session ends with a panel discussion, with the speakers and members of the experts’ panel – a group of outstanding international scholars, including

– Prof. Dr. Jeremy Aynsley (Brighton University),

– Prof. Dr. Barbara Bader (Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart),

– Prof. Dr. Claude Hauser (Université de Fribourg),

– Prof. Dr. Catherine de Smet (Université Paris-VIII),

– Prof. Dr. Teal Triggs (Royal College of Art, London).



Also, the meeting will include a keynote by Prof. Dr. Jeremy Aynsley (Brighton University), a short presentation of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage and its Swiss implementation by Dr. David Vitali and Julien Vuilleumier, the responsible experts at the Federal Office of Culture, followed by a moderated discussion. Furthermore, Michael Hiltbrunner will provide a guided tour through the exhibition “F+F”.
