2017 hat Attribute im Auftrag von Berner Burger und gemeinsam mit Skop (Design) und Joinbox (Frontend), eine neue Corporate Website für das Naturhistorische Museum Bern umgesetzt. Attribute verantwortet dabei das technische Konzept, sowie das Backend der Seite. Das NMBE gilt mit über 180 Jahren Geschichte als ältestes Museum Berns und wird seit den Anfängen von der Burgergemeinde Bern getragen. Zusätzliche relevante Stütze des Museums ist der Museumsverein. Ziel der neuen Website war es, die Navigation – bei sehr viel Inhalt – zu vereinfachen. Der Nutzer wird neu viel schneller auf relevante Seiten verwiesen und gelangt einfacher zu spezifischen Themen und Informationen. Dafür hat Attribute ein auf die Bedürfnisse vom NMBE zugeschnittenes CMS implementiert, welches funktionale und inhaltliche Flexibilität bietet. Dieses ermöglicht ein flexibles Eventbooking-System, mit welchem sich Nutzer nun online für Veranstaltungen im Museum anmelden können.

Lab für Innovationsethik

accordion-more

ethix, das Zürcher Lab für Innovationsethik, hat 2018 eine neue Corporate Website bei Attribute in Auftrag gegeben. Es handelt sich um eine Plattform, auf welcher Start-ups ihre Projekte und Vorhaben auf ethische Fragen hin prüfen können. Das Lab für Innovationsethik schafft einen Raum für den Dialog über die Chancen und Risiken von Innovation.
Denn: Innovation, der “Imperativ unserer Zeit” und Katalysator der Start-up Szene, ist nicht neutral, sondern wirft stets ethische Fragen auf. Um diese Fragen zu beurteilen und einzuordnen, hat ethix – zusammen mit Start-ups, Unternehmen und der Öffentlichkeit – Instrumente entwickelt, die auf dieser Seite demonstriert werden. Die Website dient dazu, potentiellen Kunden das Feld der Innovationsethik näher zu bringen und entsprechendes Know-How zu vermitteln. Die simple und informative Seite verfügt über einen Fragebogen (Tool-Box), mit dessen Hilfe Nutzer ein Profil des eigenen “Innovatortyps” erstellen können. Das Profil wird in Form einer Spider dargestellt und zeigt potentielle ethische Risiken für den Nutzer und sein Projekt auf. Attribute ist, abgesehen von der Entwicklung und Administration des Fragebogens, auch verantwortlich für Beratung, Konzeption, Frontend und Backend dieses Projektes. Das Design stammt von Urs Althaus.

In 2016 we realized a website for one of the biggest and most steeped in history architectural firms in Zurich. Fischer Architekten was founded in 1929 and with its 60 employees it is a comparably large architectural firm for swiss standards. Aside from smaller projects - such as the building of residential houses - Fischer Architekten coordinates large and international projects too. Their website emphasizes the firm’s decade-long tradition through the portfolio section’s timeline of the firm’s history. The corporate Website - which we realized working together with graphic studio Hammer and Aude Lehmann - is sophisticated in both design and implementation. At the heart of the site is a video portrait of the firm which was specifically design for the website. An optimized gallery provides beautiful insights into the working of the architectural firm.

We implemented a portfolio website and online shop for the repeated award-winning aerial photographer Georg Gerster. Thanks to shots of UNESCO world heritage sites as well as pictures taken for the Swissair calendar the photographer has gained international renown.

In 2015, ATTRIBUTE realized a portfolio website for the designer Jörg Boner. The Swiss designer’s sketches are dedicated to reduction – a principle we mirrored in the conception and arrangement of the website. In his studio in Zurich, Jörg Boner develops lamps, furniture and other objects of everyday use. The strikingly minimalistic design captivates the use due to its innovation and elegance – as well as due to its functionality. Aside from the classical portfolio function the website provides an insight into the designer’s creative working process. Additionally, the site features a sober online shop. ATTRIBUTE worked out the overall concept, built prototypes and developed and implemented the online shop.

Attribute hat 2018 in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Grafikerbüro Bonbon ein neues Newsportal für die Zeitschrift Neue Wege umgesetzt. Die monatlich erscheinende Zeitschrift setzt sich seit 112 Jahren mit Ent­wick­lun­gen in Po­li­tik, Wirt­schaft, Ge­sell­schaft und Kir­che kritisch aus­ein­an­der – und ist dabei immer am Puls der Zeit. Gegründet wurde das Blatt im Jahr 1906 von sozial, politisch und pazifistisch engagierten Theologen.

Ziel der neuen Website war es, mehr Inhalt publizieren und anregender darzustellen zu können. Nicht zuletzt, um eine jüngere Leserschaft gezielter zu erreichen. Attribute hat den Kunden bei der Planung und Umsetzung der Seite von Anfang an beraten und verantwortet die Informationsarchitektur, das Backend und Frontend.

During two months a small group of artists, politicians, historians, programmers, etc. retreated in a discarded chocolat factory to discuss the generation Y and the future of our cohabitation – intentionally open-ended and thus detached from the usual performance pressure. The website’s primary purpose iswas to present the project and make it accessible to funding institutions. The site is structured in a very simple way: It is a one-pager starting with a complex fullscreen intro-animation. The graphic designer Christof Täschler created the CI and design.

The young, Zurich-based fashion label nasire designs and produces leather products of high quality. Their flagship product are precious and functional leather bags. All goods are being produced in Marrakech. The exchange between the two cities Zurich and Marrakech is an essential part of this project as Marrakech’s architecture has been a decisive source of inspiration for the design of the bags. nasire’s hallmark is the traditional moroccan tanning process. We developed an online shop featuring straightforward checkout for the lifestyle label from Zurich.

Cultural repurposing in public space

Park Platz (“parking space”) used to be , as the name suggests, a parking space – until a small group of culture professionals decided to take care of this small piece of land. By now, Park Platz has become an open space away from a commercial use of space. It has become a laboratory for developing new ideas that would not be possible anywhere else in Zurich. The space is being shaped and maintained collectively and offers possibilities for interested, creative, and engaged people to carry out cultural projects and workshops. Aside from that, the plot has become a meeting place, a garden, a playground – with its very own café. The website – which we developed in close collaboration with Studio Sirup – is an agenda, as well as a platform for communication and networking. Interested parties get information on the unusual project and upcoming events. The site also features an archive that documents past projects.

In 2013, we realized the website for the independent news portal Journal21. Resisting the proclamation of “news”, Journal21 does without sensational journalism and live streams. Instead, the online journal focuses on the added value of journalism: deeper analysis, comments and background reports on current world affairs. Journal21 is predominantly authored and operated by retired journalists and is directed at readers with high demands regarding journalism. We worked out the information architecture of this complex website together with graphic designer Janine Fuchs. We maintain Journal21 on a long-term basis and implement adjustments regularely.
