Book Release
Making the Impossible Possible
The book documents a unique accumulation of superlatives
in the world’s largest self-supporting hall in a village close
to Berlin. Where the German company CargoLifter AG once
planned to construct the world’s largest transport airship,
Europe’s most expansive indoor leisure park, ‘Tropical
Islands,’ is built in 2004.
The authors Gerlinde Schuller (Information Design Studio,
Amsterdam) and Claudia Weber (artist, Berlin) compare
these two visions on their paths to implementation,
employing a combination of genres: cinematic narration,
log-book and experimental test set-up.

Project
Navigation concept and wayfinding system
for the Free University's restored Modernist building,
designed by the architects Candilis Josic Woods, 1963-1973
A project for the Free University, Berlin (D)
The Information Design Studio is specialized in the
development and design of complex information systems.
Due to the fact that these systems are comprised of a
multitude of different applications (printed matters, three-
dimensional and digital applications), the project work proves
to be very interdisciplinary.
Our design deliverables
Our objective is to derive additional knowledge by organising,
combining, condensing and visualising complex data.
Our work does not depend on certain media and involves
a multi- and interdisciplinary approach to communication,
combining skills from graphic design, web design, 3D design,
psychology, cognitive science, information theory and
cultural studies.
Milestones of Information Design
We make experimental research
We find it very important to further develop Information
Design in free, experimental projects. Our definition of
Information Design is based on an interdisciplinary attitude
and an openness towards all creative disciplines, especially
art, architecture and digital media. We develop our own formats to discuss Information Design in publications and exhibitions.
The World as Flatland – Reports
We lecture, teach and talk
Gerlinde Schuller gives lectures on Information Design and writes about the discipline. She also gives workshops on the basics of Information Design to graphic- and editorial designers.
If you are interested in a workshop and you have further questions send us an email.
