A pattern is a constant structure that is based on repetitive processes / algorithms. This does not only refer to design but can also describe behavior and traditions. Issue 4 of the fusion magazine investigates the pattern in its pure functionality to give character to a surface with a focus on German and Finnish 'pattern-culture'.
Patterns, structures and ornaments are important components of visual
identity. Starting from early textile patterns – sometimes because
of technical issues but often to express affiliation – to contemporary
corporate identities we see everywhere these days. What about cultural
identities in days of computational design and globalization? Can patterns
still be used in the same way? German and Finnish patterns are opposed to point out differences
and consistency
The 4th issue of the *fusion magazine was developed in coorporation
with the HIAP/Cable Factory Helsinki. The workshop took place in Helsinki
and in Cologne from Nov. 16th to Nov. 19th. 2006
