Project: Graft / Distinct Ambiguity; Editorial Supervisor: Lukas Feireiss; Graphic Design:Mario Lombardo; Publisher: Gestalten; Release Date: 11/2011

For Distinct Ambiguity, the first book to present GRAFT’s comprehensive body of work, Lukas Feireiss acted as editorial consultant and supervisor. It is structured into 5 thematic chapters that reflect the fundamental aspects of the collective’s inimitable approach. Each chapter—Ambiguity, Curiosity, Narration, Happiness, and Courage—is illustrated with stunning visuals of the work that best exemplifies the concept.As their name suggests, GRAFT’s groundbreaking architecture and design crosses boundaries and “grafts” the creative potentials and methodologies of different disciplines to each other. By doing so, the collective has created a pioneering visual language that takes surprising and seemingly contrary combinations of ideas and melds them into projects that are aesthetically innovative as well as sustainable and socially meaningful.
