Arroyo Seco:

Arroyo Seco: Route and Place is a 60-page book designed and produced in Brad Bartlett's class at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena California during the Spring 2007 Term. The book is a historical article contrasting the modern day state of the Pasadena I-110 Freeway to the original utopic conception as the Arroyo Seco Parkway.
Opening in 1940 as the first ever high-speed, limited access highway in the West, the Arroyo Seco Parkway combined the values of route and place. Both transportation efficiency and aesthetic delight were inseparable goals when the parkway was first built. Evolution of the parkway into a modern day freeway has led to problems by overemphasizing the speed of the route and ignoring maintaining the beauty of place.
The main text is from a Spring 2005 article from California History by Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris and Robert Gottlieb. Historic photos from the Los Angeles Public Library Photo Archive and University of Southern California Digital Archive, unless otherwise noted. All traffic statistics are from the California History article and are attributed to the California Department of Transportation as the source. All other photos are by Timothy Moraitis, shot in the Spring of 2007.

Adelina is an informal upright script designed in admiration of modern italic typefaces. Reference samples include:Ambrose, Bodoni, Cancelleresca Bastarda, Centennial, Didot, English round hand by Bickham, Garamond swash capitals, Iridiumand Typo upright. Adelina’s letters strive to maintain the restrained thick-thin relationships of modern typefaces, while exhibiting characteristics of italics and scripts. By having a more generous x-height then typical modern typefaces, Adelina is legible at many smaller sizes.

Fresh Eyes Berlin is a 14-week studio design project, in which Berlin is examined as a creative location and translated into a gallery exhibition, particularly aimed at an international audience. Re-defining the designer’s role from a mere problem solver into a proactive opportunity seeker, the team investigated the metropolis in a true 720 degree approach: inspired and coached by a group of Berlin’s leading figures and experts in design and media, science, business and politics.
To view a time-lapse movie of our studio in action and the team setting up the show in Berlin, please click here.

“Worlds within Worlds” is an exhibition proposal sponsored by Art Center in association with the Museum of Jurassic Technology and the Charles Eames Foundation. The exhibition will focus in two different areas: 1. Art works and installations curated by the Museum of Jurassic Technology will be extremely small in size and viewed through peep holes in boxes or on small pedestals located on the floor of the huge South Campus exhibition hall. In some cases visitors will need to get on their hands and knees, like Alice through the Looking Glass, to see some works. 2. Looming above in the large exhibition hall will be still and motion picture images projected on large moving screens hung about the gigantic space. All of these images will come from the Charles Eames archives and will deal with the subject of scale, toys or small objects. A unique aspect of the exhibition will be the disorientation of the viewer/audience as they embrace the tiny works and then must repeatedly come to terms with the gigantic space in which they are being exhibited. At one moment the viewer feels like a giant. The next moment they will feel dwarfed by the exhibit space and the huge projections. As they leave the South Campus, they will be greeted by the outside world where the South Campus resides among many buildings and yet another scale of reality is introduced. This exhibition will attempt to make good use of the huge dimensions of the South Campus exhibit hall as it calls attention to varied forms of art and design.
