36 Days of Type, 2021
Every year, 36 Days of Type invites designers and artists around the world to reimagine the alphabet—letter by letter, number by number. It’s a global act of creative translation: thousands of perspectives responding to the same set of symbols, each revealing something about how we see, feel, and build meaning.
Our 2021 submission emerged in the thick of the global pandemic lockdowns—a time defined by both stillness and play. Much of life unfolded within domestic boundaries or the open-air geometry of playgrounds.
Between alphabet lessons and architectural sketches, a quiet dialogue began: how do form, identity, and imagination intersect when the world shrinks to the scale of home?
In the spirit of Munari’s playful precision, the work draws from architectural silhouettes and children’s playgrounds: systems that balance control and freedom, geometry and gesture, order and joy—where rules are optional and gravity negotiable.
Essentially, the project is a study of identity through play, and a reminder that even in moments of restriction, architecture, like type, is always a conversation.
