"Mies van der Rohe is one of a few architects of the 20th century who has helped shape the architecture of the present and arguably that of the future," Foster said. What made him a great architect and what he left behind in his ambition to build."Ī party is held at Mies' Villa Tugendhat, with its marble wall and modernist chairs, alongside a glass corner sectionīritish architect Norman Foster of Foster + Partners also wrote a prologue for the book, noting his time admiring Mies' projects himself in New York City and Chicago. "And I say fiction because in this book, I try to show not only part of his work but life, the personality of the architect. "It is a fictional biography of his life, based on numerous writings by many other authors and Mies himself," Casas wrote in a blogpost. In the comic, Casas illustrates key moments in the architect's life, some of which are designed to be larger than life, alongside some of his most famous buildings. The cover of Ferrer Casas's Mies comic features Friedrichstrasse in Berlin, with a depiction of Mies' entry for a skyscraper in the background from 1921ĭesigned by Agustín Ferrer Casas, an artist who lives in Spain, the project features dozens of architectural illustrations of Mies' projects. Based on the idea that vaccines protect whole communities as well as individuals, we have worked with citizens, young people, community and faith leaders, health professionals, scientists, artists and policymakers, in Malawi, South Africa and the UK to co-create the 'One for All, All for One' comic and films.The 176-page Mies is a Spanish graphic novel outlining the life and career of the modernist architect, including his time spent at the Bauhaus, fleeing Nazi Germany, and continuing his career in US city Chicago. Seeing vaccine confidence being eroded globally, we have looked to one of the poorest countries in the world to help us redress this balance. “Malawi has an international reputation as an early adopter of vaccines with high uptake. ![]() 'One for All, All for One' is a four-chapter comic which follows young siblings, Tadala and Mayeso, as they navigate myths and misinformation, see the influence of opinion makers and social media, learn how to come to their own conclusions, and see the long-term impact of their involvement in community research projects. For me, the co-creation of the comic's narrative (with scientists, healthcare workers, community and faith leaders, young mothers, young adults and artists) is one of the most important aspects of this project." "Yet vaccine hesitancy is on the increase worldwide, prompted by misinformation, poor access and infrastructure, suboptimal communication from clinicians, public health and policy makers, and lack of awareness. "Vaccines are one of the most effective tools that we have to protect people against life-threatening infections" said Professor Bella Starling, 'One for All, All for One' project co-director (Manchester NHS Trust). By generating a dialogue and empowering communities around community protection the 'One for All, All for One' comic book and animations will allow us to work towards mutual trust in vaccine research and communication”. 'One for All, All for One' project co-director Professor Rob Heyderman (UCL Division of Infection and Immunity) said: “Everywhere in the world and particularly in vulnerable communities, vaccines are an essential tool in our fight against life-threatening infections. The comic - written by Nabeel Petersen, illustrated by Cape Town artist Mohamed Hassan and co-created with communities in Malawi – is published in English and Chichewa and will be shared with the public, in clinics, with researchers with governments and public health authorities in Malawi, South Africa, UK and beyond with the aim that they will inform and create further conversations around vaccines and immunisation. A collaborative project between UCL, Vocal, the Malawi-Liverpool-Wellcome Programme and Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, ‘One for All, All for One’ is a comic and film, helping people have conversations about vaccines, community protection and working together in research.
