Humboldthain 1
Bookdesign and concept

The starting point of the magazine is the S-Bahn station Humboldthain. Inspired by its heptagonal roof shape, a search for hexagons and heptagons begins inside and outside the station. In the first chapter, Macro, the view is directed at the inner components and individual parts. Screws, hinges, nuts and sockets - the building blocks of the station show recurring patterns of form. In the second chapter, Macro, the view to the outside is directed into the environment. The polygons can be found in nature, architecture and design. References and connections are established between seemingly arbitrary places, objects and living beings, which are based solely on the fact of an identical form.
The text of this formal study is accompanied by eyewitness accounts of the protective bunkers in the underground of the Humboldthain, an essay on the occurrence of the hexagon in nature and an excerpt from the thriller 'The Hexagon'.
