Schüco is closing this gap between esthetic and slimline requirements with the Schüco FWS 35 PD Panorama Design façade. The aluminum façade offers a reduced face width of 35 mm - and thereby fulfills thermal insulation values to passive house standard.

Passenger car Penned by the Ferrari Design Center, under the direction of Flavio Manzoni, the Ferrari GTC4Lusso is the four-seater Ferrari provided with four-wheel drive and the V12 engine. The car's architecture represents a purer take on the shooting brake theme, leaning much more towards the coupĂŠ form and adopting a more intrinsically dynamic volume. Visually, the GTC4Lusso is set in motion by the carefully studied dynamic "imbalance" of the masses above the waistline, by its inherent tension expressed through the rearward shift of the greenhouse. The heart of the GTC4Lusso design is the way it communicates its sheer dynamic abilities, even at a standstill. Design agency Ferrari S. p. A.

75.) German Season 2015 (318-3-199884) Category: 3.04 Corporate Identity / Branding
Print and web PR materials The German Season 2015 involved 25 projects in the fields of politics, economy, culture, science, education and sports. With 100,000 visitors in 23 Indonesian cities it was the largest German-Indonesian joint event ever. The design fulfilled four essential needs: overall recognizability, diversity of every single project, trilingualism and inclusion of all partner logos. It had a very German feeling but was also successfully addressed to the Indonesian audience. It is an exciting, fresh and very suitable way to represent Germany. It is a large project with a huge variety of materials and requirements and is always both esthetic and informative.
