Architecture Studies 01
Words, Buildings & Drawings

Architecture Studies is an annual publication by the SEU and AA. Twelve was
responsible for its editing and design. We approached the reading experience as a
spacial and topographical exploration, creating layers of hierarchy for each section
within a set structure.

Conservation ofChinese Graphical Collections
Print, Conference
Conservation of Chinese Graphical Collections is a full day conference at the
Royal Asiatic Society, UK. Twelve was approached to design its printed materials.
We treated the paper as a physical medium, producing a double-sided poster
designed to be tiled in layers, and a set of booklets that interlaced with the
gatefolded pages.

An art gallery or art museum is a building or
space for the exhibition of art, usually visual
art. Museums can be public or private, but what
distinguishes a museum is the ownership of a
collection. Paintings are the most commonly
displayed art objects; however, sculpture,
decorative arts, furniture, textiles, costume,
drawings, pastels, watercolors, collages, prints,
artists' books, photographs, and installation art
are also regularly shown. Although primarilyconcerned with providing a space to show works of
visual art, art galleries are sometimes used to
host other artistic activities, such as
performance art, music concerts, or poetry
readings.

Identity, Gallery
TIEN is a London based art agency, committed to supporting and promoting
emerging artists worldwide. The identity is based on the Chinese character Tien,
meaning farm fields. The dynamic nature of the graphics enables the identity to be
repeated, overlapped and extended.

that address the complementary realms of architecture, art and design. As an
alternative to a printed graphic, Twelve developed a concept based around a
stencil, masking and stamping areas of found imagery.
