BEAUTIFUL BRAND IDENTITIES PLACEMAKING AND DESIGN BUILT ON SIMPLE IDEAS
WHY.
WHY. is a collaborative design studio working in continuous partnerships with artists, designers, cultural and scientific institutions and clients in the urban context.
Our process is research based and led by ideas. We like to ask, rather twice, to explore complex ideas, to analyze concepts, to open up issues and – finally – to find the appropriate answer. We keep things simple and believe that curiosity is mother of all inventions.
WHY. is based in Vienna but loves Europe. Together with a selected group of artists and creatives we are working on the re-branding of Europe. Starting point was the Eurolab initiated by Wolfgang Tillmans, Rem Koolhaas and Stephan Peterman at the Forum on European Culture in Amsterdam.
Think big – take a look at our revolutionary project: Eurasian Gondolas – a gondola from London to Tokyo.
