»Dekoloniale — What remains?«: We developed the Exhibition design, visual language and scenography for three venues in the city of Berlin in 10 Months.
Concept
The visual design concept is inspired by "Learning from Las Vegas“ by Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown and Steven Izenour (1972). It tasks itself with the exploration of visual and spatial representations of memory culture. The result is an extensive database that documents what physically exists in the urban space of Berlin and visualizes stories that have often been overlooked in public discourse. The database draws on existing studies and knowledge on Black and Asian histories of resistance in Berlin. The aim is to create a growing visual open archive that represents resistance, empowerment, diverse life stories, and Germany's (post-)colonial responsibility. The iconized elements serve as visual backgrounds and contribute to the contextualization of all written and presented content.

n-gram
we use strategies scenography, exhibition and spatial design to convey complex information in an informative and playful manner
scenography and exhibition design
we design spatial storytelling forms to translate narratives effectively within public spaces.
curation & consultation
we bring diverse expertise in curating complex content across various spaces, adapting to unique contextual needs. our consulting services for clients like museums focus on understanding and sensitively translating representation, especially for complex topics.
visual representation & conception
we create adaptable visual languages that evolve with each project and fit diverse environments. our work emphasizes conceptual expertise, grounded in studies, field research, and content-driven visuals.
urban interventions & experimental design
we embrace an experimental approach to develop innovative representation strategies, valuing discovery through trial and error (iterative design process). this process allows us to uncover alternative approaches and innovative visual solutions.

The Spatial Departement is directed by Sociologist and Designer Danielle Rosales. Both, Spatial and Data Department, are complementing each other through an inter-disciplinary approach
this approach makes recognition and coherence possible without rigidity. it also ensures accessibility: our systems are designed not only for professional designers, but also for researchers, students, and civic actors who want to communicate through them.
Directed by Danielle Rosales ( sociologist & designer) and Robin Coenen (Informationdesigner and Data Engineer)
We use Information design to make complexity accessible and readable.
our expertise in information design is not tied to any one format or medium; we have expertise from crafting complex data-structures of an online archive to designing hand colored cartographies for print.
we leverage data-driven design to create civic-tech solutions that empower communities, drive transparency, and support social or academic innovation.
we consciously move away from traditional branding, instead creating dynamic visual languages that work as flexible visual systems. this approach allows us to develop a unique visual "grammar" that can evolve across various modules—from logos to social media campaigns, posters to websites or data visualizations.
we bridge the gap between science and the public, between complexity and accessibility. our visualization strategies transform research into accessible, compelling narratives and experiences.
we conceptionize and design structured information systems that organize and preserve knowledge, making it easy to navigate and engaging to use through our expertise in visual design.
