Under the title Freespace the 16th International Architecture Exhibition, Biennale Architettura 2018 in Venice, asked international participants to “encourage reviewing ways of thinking, new ways of seeing the world, of inventing solutions where architecture provides for the well being and dignity of each citizen on this fragile planet”.
The response from Australia; a pavilion titled Repair and a collaboration between the Australian Institute of Architects, Creative directors Louise Wright and Mauro Baracco of Baracco+Wright, and artist Linda Tegg, investigates the relationship between architects and their use of land.
The pavilion brings to material reality a belief held by Wright and Baracco that architecture should actively engage in the ecological repair of place and that this action will in-turn catalyse other types of social, economic and cultural repair.
Working with the Australian Institute of Architects and Baracco+Wright, Melbourne-based Studio Round developed a graphic identity for Repair. This is included a graphic and material design language that connects catalogue, newsprint and website about the pavilion and its concept.

Ki Sunscreen was developed by national skincare clinic Caci to protect against the harsh New Zealand sun, and the skin damage and premature ageing that UVA and UVB rays can cause. This is been expanded into a larger and broader range of skin treatments and renamed Skinsmiths. The range is made from the latest generation of ingredients proven to protect and those that help to control oils and maintain a matt finish. This balance of clinical effectiveness and cosmetic mindfulness is expressed by its graphic identity, created by Auckland studio Akin, in the meeting of a bold black logotype and in the material interaction and contrast between uncoated paper and distinctive glossy print finish.

David Collins Studio is an award-winning interior architecture practice working with brands, businesses and private clients who share their passion for detail, craft and refinement. These include Harrods, Nobu Berkeley, The Connaught Bar and those working within the hospitality, residential and retail sectors.
The studio’s work is described as being iconic, timeless and having a dramatic glamour rooted in a methodology that begins with an idea (this could be lateral and oblique to begin with) which then evolves into a palette of materials, colours and moods, often transforming the familiar into the exotic. This is expressed in the collaborative actions of Bibliothèque Design (brand identity) and Future Corp (digital art direction) to redesign graphic identity and website. This features a subtle intersection of typographic form (custom typeface), material and finish (stationery and business cards) and viewpoints (website).
