Works 1: Infrastructures for Change is Archeworks‘s first publication documenting the result of their students’ research. Martin Felsen came to Rick Valicenti with an idea for an Archeworks Publication, together they developed a template and format. Rick and Bud Rodecker worked together to bring this inaugural issue to life. Which included the development of AW, a riff on Mathew Carter‘s Bell Centennial, with ink traps that replace function with style.
Martin describes works like this:
This first issue of Works documents the ongoing physical and social infrastructural design projects undertaken at Archeworks including: design speculations on Chicago’s network of parks and public zones of activity, the implementation of new community-owned Pocket Parks in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood, an examination of an alternative, safe, convenient personal mobility infrastructure, and an investigation into the politics behind vital natural resources, which evolved into a global public education campaign to increase awareness of water scarcity.

Curtiss, Rick, Bud:
Just wanted to thank you all for letting me join on press yesterday.
I really enjoyed my GAS immersion, and now have a much better understanding of the printing process.
And of course it’s just cool to see this thing become real.
