I’m currently working at the 032c office in Berlin in order to build the new website of my favourite magazine.

I got to know Jörg Koch, founder and editor/creative director of 032c, while he was staying in Lausanne giving an one-week workshop for two masters classes at ECAL in early december 2009.
I was prepared to do a nice and big mistake when I wrote him an email with my ideas for an interview/conversation he should be part of together with François Rappo. It was a long and loose email — personal thoughts on personal ideas.
I remember getting funny faces from other people when telling about my idea of ’stealing his time’ for my strange ideas.
But: Koch did write back immediately and was ready for action. And so was Mr. Rappo.
It turned out to be a good move — everyone was happy with the outcome of our conversational interview which covered and uncovered new ideas on culture, art history, design education, productivity and the making-of 032c.

To put it briefly, some days after his arrival in Berlin, Jörg Koch wrote me an email proposing me to work on this ambitious project which is the creation of the new website for the Berlin based magazine for contempary culture designed by Mike Meiré and Tim Giesen.

Since then I’m working on this project — last week in the office (pictures below) where I had access to the archive and appreciated opinions.
By the way: As you might see on the photos I took Johannes with me in the boat for generating yet more effective and sophisticated solutions. So in our first Berlin days we headed to the 032c Workshop for discussion and plan-making.

Explore the brand-new Berlin Mitte based office (Architect: Arno Brandlhuber) in all it’s grace with countless different chairs and tables designed by Konstantin Grcic including the eight meter long glas vitrine for further exhibitions…

Motivation comes naturally when you work on a project like this. Especially when you are working with people like this, in a bureau like this, in a city like this.
We’re giving all got to finish our big mutual project so stay tuned for more!
Vive La Société de 032c!

I want to finish my little Berlin survey with some pictures of beautiful evenings with my two friends Felicitas Vallot and Louise Friedlaender also originally from Köln, but based in Berlin these days. Louise is studying fashion design at the Esmod and Fe is doing an internship at Wunderkind.
Was a great time — Cheers girls!
