Wolk

Wolk

(Dutch for cloud) is an app for all libraries in the Netherlands. Download the app and see five spatial poems.

We were commissioned to develop an app that shows spatial typography to people in libraries.

Th whole project took direction when we came up with the name Wolk. Funny enough clouds have a connotation of both poetry and the digital. Even better: clouds can transmit different moods: from a heavy nostalgic feeling to an airy spring dance. Adding the boy with the tablet makes the image complete.

For every poem we designed an architectural equivalent.

The clouds enable a smooth transition between the poem and library behind it.
