Ulm – School of Design (hfg)

Max Bill, co-founder, architect and first director of the School of Design (hfg) in Ulm, appointed Ernst Scheidegger as head of the Department of Graphic Design and Photography even before classes commenced (1956). His personal photograhic documents give us an authentic picture of the School in the making. Scheidegger left the school after only two years along with Bill.
