Yellowstone National Park became the world’s first national park on March 1, 1872, spanning an area of 3,468 sq. mi, with lakes, canyons, rivers, and mountain ranges. This rebrand takes inspiration from Yellowstone’s vast geography and natural hydrothermal and geologic features, including the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest super volcano on the continent.

Where’s The Green is an anthology of writings and video on how to incorporate greenery into a city that wasn’t built for thriving life. It hinges on the concept of salutogenesis: the idea that city infrastructure should be built on the basis of promoting health, rather than preventing harm.

But what can we do as humans in our current lifetime? How can we be more sensitive to greenery in our daily life? How can we re-introduce green amidst the urban chaos? How can we find joy in an environment that is biophobic?

Studio HanLi approaches design in a playful, “heuristic” way, specializing in graphic design, typography, and bespoke typefaces. Elias Hanzer is a long-time collaborator at Dinamo Typefaces where he designed ABC Arizona. Lucas Liccini approaches publishing and type design from a intellectual and contemplative perspective, previously at Studio Manuel Raeder and Phaidon Press.

I had the greatest pleasure of interviewing them and asking about their practice.
