The post-professional course of study integrates design studios with courses in urban design history and theory, economics, and public policy. Both Motto locations function as spaces for events dedicated to discussions around art publishing, graphic design, photography, and typography.Our Master of Urban Design program equips future urban designers with the knowledge and skills needed to meet the challenges of modern urban growth.Д«eginning in the summer term, the intensive 11-month curriculum focuses on enhancing your understanding of urban design at all scales-from the neighbourhood block to the regional. In 2010, Motto opened a second store in ZГјrich located in Perla-Mode, a place with many other ongoing projects including Corner College and the Message Salon. The store is a natural progression from the traveling temporary bookshops that Motto has organized since 2007, first in Switzerland and then internationally including locations in Vilnius, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Wiesbaden, Frankfurt, Moscow, Chicago, Seoul, Tokyo, Paris, and Stuttgart. In 2008, Motto opened its first permanent bookstore, in Berlin. Motto started in 2007 as a distribution company for Switzerland, specializing in magazines and fanzines, at the time, a rare service in the region. The selections discuss artifact and style as refractive and unreliable measures, and the technique of talking about people by talking about things. The topics relate to books, and are interpreted by reading, reproduction, and performance.
