Quite independently of any fashionable zeitgeist trends in visual communication, Baumann & Baumann may look back on twenty years of inventing and developing their own visual language. Theirs is an idiom which results from a certain notion, an attitude, geared towards an idea, both helping to determine and to initiate its subject matter. This book, designed by B & B, features insights, overviews, outlooks on every page, both onto "big" and "small" projects, forging bonds and links between contents and form, between subject matter and expression, offering up experimental programmes and programmed experiments. &, read as "et", comes from the Latin and means "and". & has become the symbol of Baumann & Baumann. & connects Baumann to Baumann, allowing other links with partners, employees, and with open questions. Awarded the 2003 red dot design award.
