JOM Architect’s Website
JOM Architects shape the future. The sustainable and climate-positive building culture is both their motivation and creative potential. Their work stands for powerful ideas and responsible processes – JOM develops architecture for the issues of our time.

The extensive site guides us through their key disciplines and services and show us how the connections between use, construction and process shape their creative work for the future. The impressive project portfolio is presented as a list, in a grid view and on a map, and can be filtered by discipline. The image grid can be enlarged or reduced for a better overview.
The design is inspired by JOM’s corporate identity with its characteristic indentation, generous white space and the use of its two fonts.

New website design for Silvio Köhle – the master wood craftsman and designer behind the label weissfeld.
We’re proud to have one of his stunning masterpieces in our studio: the iconic big book table at House of Books.
Design in collaboration with Georg Rutishauser.
Weissfeld is an interdisciplinary studio.
Its core competencies lie in architecture-related color concepts and prototypical handcrafted furniture design.
In addition to commissioned work, weissfeld consistently pursues experimental processes.
“every piece of furniture is envisioned, engineered, and hand-made from start to finish with utmost care by the master himself, the furniture is custom-designed and custom-taylored to the client’s needs and specific wishes. in the weissfeld philosophy, furniture stands in relation to room and space. therefore, not only function, structure, proportion and form of the individual furniture is important, also the room and space, in which the furniture will be placed, is thoroughly considered and included in the design process.”

Maria Pomiansky takes us on a tour of the neighborhood as she perceives and experiences it today. She created her urban portraits of Zurich West between 2013 and 2018. It is a part of town that is full of viaducts, logistics facilities and infrastructures, and at the same time it is in transformation, seeing the emergence of glamorous new buildings. Viewing the large-format paintings, the drawings and pastels, we become immersed in an exploration of the immediate urban and social context of her practice.

tria publishing platform, Zurich–Beijing, 2016
Mixing images he is finding on social media platforms and electronic music, Lin Ke is creating videos where he is researching new forms of visual aesthetic in our daily use of computer operating systems.
The publication was approaching the issue that the medium book always has issues to present video works in an appropriate way and this became even more obvious with the works of digital artists. Through using a layer of augmented reality on top of this book, it became possible to use the book as a documentation of Lin Ke’s videos in chronological order from 2010 to 2016 and link it to the original videos itself. Via an free augmented reality App the reader can bring the files to life and watch the videos.
The years are divided through text pages and pages with full-bled pictures from Lin Ke’s videos which let the reader immerse into the artist’s world. This way of viewing Lin Ke’s aesthetic universe is mimicking the intended way of viewing the videos and stresses the important aspect of manual movements in the work of the artist. It also allows the augmented reality content to be always updated and so stay in an ongoing exchange with technological development. The reader will be guided through the book with textmessages of the artist which will be displayed at the end of a video. With using the app the reader is also implementing a digital performance.

Jannis Schulze: Pangu

editor: I: project space, Jannis Schulze, Sonja Zagermann
tria publishing platform, Zurich–Beijing, 2017
During his residency in 2015 at I: project space Jannis Schulze collected photographic material that was the starting point for “Pangu”. The title refers to a Chinese creation myth: the giant Pangu (盘古), in contrast to Western mythologies, does not create the world out of nothing, but separates the earth from the heavens whilst growing taller and taller for 18,000 years. When he dies, his body, breath and voice become various parts of the terrestrial and cosmic world, and the fleas on his fur become animals and human beings. These elements of continuity and balance form the point of departure for Schulze’s exploration of the aesthetics of perception and his photographic practice.
“Pangu” is part of the residency publication series of I: project space.

This record is released on the occasion of the exhibition “I haven’t been everywhere but it’s ok” at LAB47, Beijing November 2015. On opening night visitors gathered on Bodenmann’s “Flat Fantasy Landscapes” listening to the atmospheric sound performance produced by Bit-Tuner that evening. The 45 min sound-piece became part of the installation after its opening, then only accessible from the outside of the glass door. Sound fragments that are reminiscent of that heard in waiting rooms or elevators were mixed with synth sounds and beats. These places of transition are characterized by their state of waiting to arrive. “Flat Fantasy Landscapes” together with the ambient soundscape created a feeling of anticipation and longing. The “Flat Fantasy Landscapes” are small plasticine sculptures that were made during a stay in Iceland the same year, scanned and fitted to a print covering the entire floor. This publication includes a recording of the live-performance by Bit-Tuner on opening night, a reproduction of Bodenmann´s Fantasy Landscapes and record sleeve with text.

Worldmaking Logo
Times of global crises, worldwide transformation processes and political power shifts draw our attention to notions of “world”: How are “worlds” created; how do notions of “world” change? By addressing these issues, the project calls for perspectives which deliberately counter resurgent Eurocentrism (although they may run under the label of the ‘global’) through a change of perspective, namely the engagement with China.
Funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) since November 2020, the Joint Center is characterized by its highly integrated network system. It brings together scholarly teams from Freie Universität Berlin, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, Ludwigs-Maximilians-Universität München and Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg. In close collaboration with German and Chinese researchers from various disciplines, these teams investigate existing notions of “world” and practices of “worldmaking” from different angles.
The logo itself reflects these transformation processes as it exists in several different conditions and in 3 colors.

Spreadsheet is a collection of artist’s writings reflecting on the present moment. Spreadsheet brings together artists from across the globe to give glimpses into their research and thought processes; how these current global conditions can be understood and analyzed, and how to potentially overcome certain disruptive aspects of a hyper-connected time created. The series of writings was published throughout the year 2020 from different modes of isolation via tria’s website to download and print at home. Spreadsheet #1–21 brings together the collection of all 21 publications with an exclusive artist edition by Lotte Meret Effinger. Spreadsheet grew out of what feels like an unprecedented moment of uncertainty, amplified precarity, resurgent nationalism and national mindsets, and little or no assurance of what our collective futures might entail. By assembling multiple, overlapping voices, we are creating a collective voice of this time. We must listen together in and out of this time.

Jannis Schulze: Pangu
A5, 72 pages,
wire stitching,
English/Chinese
editor: I: project space, Jannis Schulze, Sonja Zagermann
tria publishing platform, Zurich–Beijing, 2017
During his residency in 2015 at I: project space Jannis Schulze collected photographic material that was the starting point for “Pangu”. The title refers to a Chinese creation myth: the giant Pangu (盘古), in contrast to Western mythologies, does not create the world out of nothing, but separates the earth from the heavens whilst growing taller and taller for 18,000 years. When he dies, his body, breath and voice become various parts of the terrestrial and cosmic world, and the fleas on his fur become animals and human beings. These elements of continuity and balance form the point of departure for Schulze’s exploration of the aesthetics of perception and his photographic practice. “Pangu” is part of the residency publication series of I: project space.

Liang Hao: Just Fishing in the Nature

inserted diary sheet, hand-made silkscreen by the artist

tria publishing platform, Zurich–Beijing, 2016
“Just Fishing in the Nature” is a publication in close collaboration wit the Chinese artist Liang Hao. It is the first publication highlighting his works as a video artist while putting into the context with his oeuvre as a painter. The publication stretches out on 108 pages all 20 second of the video “Just Fishing in the Nature”, that was shot during his residency in Iceland in 2015. By looking closer pictures will appear at irregular intervals on the left pages of the book. The pictures are not fully visible, the reader will just see them shining through the paper. Through working with a special binding technique, the book consists of partly closed sheets. In every inside of these closed pages one of Liang Hao’s painting is printed. Thereby a poetic dialogue between the moments of “Just Fishing in the Nature” and the moments shown in Liang Hao’s paintings arises – surrounded by Icelandic nature.

Augmented reality content
Additional bookmark
tria publishing platform, Zurich–Beijing, 2016
Mixing images he is finding on social media platforms and electronic music, Lin Ke is creating videos where he is researching new forms of visual aesthetic in our daily use of computer operating systems.
The publication was approaching the issue that the medium book always has issues to present video works in an appropriate way and this became even more obvious with the works of digital artists. Through using a layer of augmented reality on top of this book, it became possible to use the book as a documentation of Lin Ke’s videos in chronological order from 2010 to 2016 and link it to the original videos itself. Via an free augmented reality App the reader can bring the files to life and watch the videos.
The years are divided through text pages and pages with full-bled pictures from Lin Ke’s videos which let the reader immerse into the artist’s world. This way of viewing Lin Ke’s aesthetic universe is mimicking the intended way of viewing the videos and stresses the important aspect of manual movements in the work of the artist. It also allows the augmented reality content to be always updated and so stay in an ongoing exchange with technological development. The reader will be guided through the book with textmessages of the artist which will be displayed at the end of a video. With using the app the reader is also implementing a digital performance.

Daniel Stubenvoll took part in the residency program at I: project space in spring 2015. His stay in Beijing was extremely productive and next to shooting a video, he started an event series at a mahjong-place (Salon, breakfast, hoops), and realized a solo exhibition at I: project space. The publication on the one hand is a documentation of his researc and exhibition at I: project space, but it also let’s you “walk through” the exhibition and experience his stay in Beijing. Starting with a overview- look into the exhibition place, the image is zooming to works that were exhibited on the wall and show stills of the video. You can also become a guest at the artist talk which discusses elements of the exhibition but also gives an impression of his research in China. The easy, simple design and the uncut front side contribute to the fast and raw character of a documentation. The cover of the exhibition serves as a recognizable feature.
«I: Cowboy» is part of the residency publication series of I: project space.
7334 min – Lasst uns am Anfang anfangen und am Ende aufhören!
Master thesis, Zurich University of the Arts, 2012
2400 pages, 9kg
Awarded in the :output award 2013.
What is feared in Japan under the word Karoshi, becomes more and more reality. Nightshifts, overwork, overtime and resulting physical and mental stress are acute and profound problems of today's society.
This work deals with the question to what extent stress factors have an effect on the design process. With the help of self-experimentation this question was further examined. By continuous monitoring through various stress sensors, ECG- measurement devices, a surveillance camera and constantly triggered screenshots, photographs and questionnaires, the subject was monitored and analyzed. The analysis shows that the investigated factors have no positive effect on the design process, the design outcome is not significantly better than under normal conditions. Outcome of the analysis is a Manifesto, entitled Slow Design, that criticises the performance orientation of our today's society.
The resulting manifesto is part of book publication. Basis of the book are the pictures of the surveillance camera, each minute was recorded and is now shown in the book. 7334 images, 7334 minutes of work. On each page of the book, the reader is constantly faced with work, power and it's temporal measurement. The book suspends the reader on multiple levels with the acute and threatening situation in which we find ourselves. Crushing reality, monotony and an incredible mass of work are preparing the reader image for image for the insight in form of the manifesto. The book expresses the attitude of Slow Design.

Daniel Stubenvoll took part in the residency program at I: project space in spring 2015. His stay in Beijing was extremely productive and next to shooting a video, he started an event series at a mahjong-place (Salon, breakfast, hoops), and realized a solo exhibition at I: project space. The publication on the one hand is a documentation of his researc and exhibition at I: project space, but it also let’s you “walk through” the exhibition and experience his stay in Beijing. Starting with a overview- look into the exhibition place, the image is zooming to works that were exhibited on the wall and show stills of the video. You can also become a guest at the artist talk which discusses elements of the exhibition but also gives an impression of his research in China. The easy, simple design and the uncut front side contribute to the fast and raw character of a documentation. The cover of the exhibition serves as a recognizable feature. «I: Cowboy» is part of the residency publication series of I: project space.
