About

When Design is an immersive 3D educational experience mapping 150 years of graphic design history — from Arts & Crafts (1880) to Web Brutalism and beyond.

37 movements and sub-movements are positioned in a navigable constellation, connected by their historical influences, oppositions, and derivations. Each node unfolds into a detailed panel with descriptions, key artists, and archival imagery.

Designed to make design history tangible, visual, and explorable.
