The Lendwirbel is an annual festival in Graz, celebrating the community in Lend, one of Graz’s most culturally diverse districts.

 

This year STUDIO MINZ tackled the task of creating a guidance system, directing visitors around the neighbourhood. Inspired by the motto “Unter freiem Himmel” (“Under the open sky”) and existing poster designs by hommage* which depict flocks of birds as a metaphor for community, we installed wooden nesting boxes as dispensers for festival maps and lineups.

In addition, we decorated special spots around the streets with birds cut from cardboard, which were coloured in the Lendwirbel’s corporate colours to achieve a uniform appearance.
