Selected Projects
American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) is the largest natural history museum in the world. It is renowned for having a rich collection including human cultures, the universe, the natural world, and diverse biological specimens and fossils.
This algorithmic redesign of its flexible identity is systematic, scalable, and generative. The logo works like a container, possibly showcasing every collection within the museum. Having a bespoke typographic system and parametric patterns, it is a cohesive and mutative system that could generate an infinite amount of variations.
