Schule für Gestaltung Basel

From Wikipedia

The Schule für Gestaltung Basel is a cantonal vocational school (Berufsschule) for training and continuing education in design, communication design, and art, located at Vogelsangstrasse 15 in Basel, Switzerland. In 2003, the school was formally separated from the Allgemeine Gewerbeschule and became an independent institution with its own administration. Its students have influenced the international graphic design community since the postgraduate program opened in 1968, though the school's roots trace back to a drawing school founded in 1796 and the Allgemeine Gewerbeschule established in 1887. Its tradition is shaped by graphic design pioneers Armin Hofmann, Emil Ruder, and Wolfgang Weingart. The name of the school represents an educational approach which perpetuates their ideas: to lay a strong and broad foundation for the major design disciplines. The institution adopted its current name, Schule für Gestaltung Basel, in 1980, when the arts and design department of the Allgemeine Gewerbeschule was renamed.
