Thumb is very excited to be working with 306090 and the High Museum in Atlanta on the exhibition Workshopping: An American Model of Architectural Practice at the U.S. pavilion at La Biennale di Venezia, the 12th International Architecture Exhibition opening at the end of August. We're developing the overall visual identity for the U.S. pavilion and the exhibition catalog. See more here.

Our occasional publication Thumb is included in the exhibition/archive DE ZINE taking place at La Casa Encendida in Madrid, Spain. From their website: “De Zines”, organised by Roberto Vidal and Óscar Martín, aims to reflect what is happening in contemporary publishing concerning independent publications; how this field relates to the field of artistic production and the contemporary social, cultural and political environment." It's taking place from June 29 to August 29, 2010. See more here.

Thumb has been included on the Center for Architecture's 2010 Graphic Design Shortlist. Offices on the list will be working with the Architecture Center throughout the year on selected projects.

The Columbia School of Journalism Toni Stabile Student Center was honored with a "Best in Category" award in the Architect Magazine Annual Design Review. We worked with Marble Fairbanks, the architects of the project, to develop the environmental graphics and wayfinding system. See more here.
