Forms of Inquiry

Forms of Inquiry presents a compelling selection of graphic designers whose work explores the mutual exchange and shared lineage between graphic design and architecture. This work is united by a shared impulse to reframe the circumstances surrounding contemporary graphic practice, using intuitive modes of investigation to probe the boundaries of the discipline.

For this publication nineteen international graphic designers have provided three contributions: a representative example of past work, and an 'inquiry' into architectural subjects serving as the foundation for a series of newly commissioned prints. this new work aims to re-examine the increasingly overlapping practices of graphic design and architecture and in so doing hopes to compile a selective genealogy of the architectural canon as seen through the field of contemporary graphic design.

As a separately bound supplement Forms of Inquiry Reading Room contains a selection of publications guest-curated by a group of editors, publishers and designers. Contributions include independent scholarly publications, books, 'zines and other printed matter that exemplify graphically driven modes of inquiry, with a particular emphasis on those that investigate the connections between design and architecture.
