Gropius Maximus

On Tuesday night, Stoltze Design attended the launch party of the latest issue of ArchitectureBoston, entitled American Gropius, celebrating the life and legacy of Walter Gropius. The issue (which coincided with Grope's 130th birthday) was feted at the Gropius House in Lincoln, MA, where local architects, designers, and even former members of The Architects Collaborative (the firm co-founded by Gropius) mingled, laughed, and reminisced. The evening was a huge success, with delicious food and great company, topped off by private tours of the famous house.
 
We were excited and inspired while working on this issue, and we are proud of the final product. We introduced BayerArchiType as a guest display font and incorporated a palette of black, red, blue and yellow, striving to remain true to the aesthetic and philosophy of Modernism. We'd like to think that Gropius would have approved!
