The salvation of design comes from experiment - it does not imitate a living space. - A Combined Quote from Lazlo Maholy-Nagy and El Lissitzky


Lazlo Lissitsky is a Processing sketch designed to create increasingly complex Bauhaus/Modernist/Swiss Modern style compositions. Developed from an open source sketch from open processing, Lazlo has become a very complicated body of spaghetti code that somehow magically works and evokes mid-20th century design. The names of the files are a running joke about the very ordinary uses that modernist design was used for. Admittedly, some was in museums - but so much good design went into Penguin book covers for non-fiction, into posters for committees and conferences, into the boring everyday. 

With each wave of Lazlo designs the program evolves a little bit and uses new methods, new code, new patterns.
