Identity, printed matter, signage, and website for the Public Art Fund’s new outdoor exhibition, Statuesque. The exhibit focuses on contemporary figurative sculpture by Huma Bhabha, Thomas Houseago and others. Our identity stacks all the content on top of a base made of Albertus, a typeface from the 1930s inspired by raised bronze lettering in public inscriptions. We made it even more 3D. It’s installed in City Hall Park, right around the corner from our office; the work is great if you want to visit.


The Whitney Museum’s new website, which has been a big part of our practice for the past year, is live to the public now. So you know where it is, the website is black at night and white in the day, and it has its own sunrise and sunset New York time. To build it, more than 64,000 page versions were created in our new CMS, Economy, by 63 different authors.
We’re especially proud of the collection area, which is easy to use and shows images big. You can make your own collection (which you can share with other people), stream and download really great video and audio, and much more. Check out the search results and the “New content” RSS feeds, they’re fun. We’ll be writing more about this project soon… Programming: with GrayBits. More images.

In our second collaboration with Geoff Han, we designed & launched a new identity and website for Solid Objectives, the architecture partnership of Florian Idenburg and Jing Liu. This website’s goal is an almost physical density or fullness, organized. It is a blog built on WordPress. Each category of post has its own layout, all using the same grid; so that there is a relationship between form and program that evolves as you explore the site. More...

Making Policy Public is a neat initiative of the Center for Urban Pedagogy. We just designed & launched the new website for it.
If you are a designer, you have from now until June 16 to apply to be paired up with one of four advocacy groups. If you’re selected, you’ll work with that group to design an informational poster about either predatory lending & credit, detention and deportation, street vending, or barriers faced by previously incarcerated job-seekers. There is a $1000 stipend. I hope some of you guys apply! More images...

The Environmental Performance Index is a global measurement and ranking of the environmental quality and policies of most of the world’s nations. This year’s index was released in Davos in January. We worked with its creators (the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy and the Center for International Earth Science Information Network at Columbia University) to make a more accessible and public online manifestation of the index and its components.

We launched a website for Mary Ping, the New York-based fashion designer. It starts from the bottom, which is where we put her tag, and you scroll up from there. The whole website is just the one page with all her collections on it, which felt like the dense rack of clothes we found in her studio. In collaboration with Geoff Han. More images.

We just launched a new website for Artcity a festival of contemporary art in Calgary. Our design is a hack on top of Google Maps. It was easy to make because it uses Google’s code for all aspects of the interface. Thanks to Adam and Prem at Project Projects. More...
(Update: Since the festival’s over now, the link is to a mirror of the 2007 site.)

We’ve launched an online map of the Yale University campus. You can locate 322 buildings by browsing or searching among hundreds of campus organizations and departments. Even cooler, you can reach 428 Yale websites by finding them in buildings. The map is a way to explore the Yale web as well as the Yale campus. More...

Linked by Air has launched a new website for Yale University’s School of Art. It’s a new kind of modular wiki templated and programmed by us and operated by the students, staff and faculty of the school. Lots more images...
