Berlin is one of six UNESCO Cities of Design.
And it's the starting point for a big combined billboard design competition.
Every metropolis has a face – a design – a visual CODE.
CREATE BERLIN explores the Code of Berlin: what defines the city, what is your image of Berlin?
In 2007, Montreal based agency SID LEE developed a series of posters with Montréal, UNESCO City of Design as a theme. They proposed to present the exhibition in Berlin and to present similar exhibition from Berlin reciprocally in Montreal.
Every city has its own individual CODE, which is to be explored and illustrated through this competition.
Berlin provides 2000 empty billboards
- show us, in the centre of the city, how you think it displays its face to the outside world:
here and now, tomorrow, or throughout the long course of its changing history.
