Book Description

In contemporary design and artistic practice, how can research findings, personal experiences, and complex ideas be translated into a refined and coherent visual identity system? 45 Symbols—Clay to Code addresses this central question by exploring systematic approaches to the construction and expansion of visual language.

The book draws inspiration from one of the most enigmatic artifacts in media history—the 3,700-year-old, still-undeciphered Phaistos Disc. Originating from Crete, this ancient clay disc embossed with 45 distinct symbols serves as both the conceptual starting point and symbolic framework for the project. The works featured in this volume range from personal narratives to global issues, demonstrating how creators develop original “visual grammars” through structured symbol systems.

This publication also consolidates more than a decade of international teaching and research generated through The Phaistos Project—Forty-five Symbols. Through open calls, workshops, exhibitions, and risograph publications, the initiative has evolved into a global creative community. Bringing together over 2,000 symbols, the book functions both as a living archive of research inquiries and as documentation of collective experimentation and intercultural dialogue.

45 Symbols—Clay to Code is not merely a compilation of research outcomes; it also serves as a practical guide. It encourages readers to develop skills in visual storytelling, documentation methods, and reflective practice, fostering systematic and distinctive personal results. The volume clearly illustrates the transition from “clay” to “digital code,” capturing the dynamic flow and transformation of language and symbols across media.

More than a design publication, this book stands as a long-term reference on symbol generation, knowledge translation, and cross-cultural exchange—offering enduring value for research and education in the decades to come.
