TM-City

TM-City (with Esther de Vries)
TM-City has eight neighbourhoods, made out of more than 150 works by the Dutch graphic designer Richard Niessen. Niessen's method can be described as 'Typo-graphic Masonry' (TM), for he builds with graphic elements like fonts, shapes and colours. In TM-City Niessen takes it all one step further and actually builds a city out of his designs: flyers are stacked to form skyscrapers, posters are laid out to become parks. TM-City is fully traversable. People can walk down the streets, named after Niessen's sources of inspiration, such as Richard Rogers and Eduardo Paolozzi. TM-City also has been designed to be mobile and easy to transport.? Each neighbourhood,?individually wrapped in handmade covers, fits inside its?wooden base.?From 12 May to 24 June 2007, TM-City forms a gesamtkunstwerk inside La Chapelle, the Baroque chapel in Chaumont, France.?Welcome to TM-City!
