“De Huisvader der Toekomst” - Eppo Doeve (De Groene Amsterdammer)
Calculators, homemakers, incubators and pleasure machines.
Women as technology presents four potential roles for women that are as significant as they are problematic: women as homemakers, women as calculators, women as incubators and women as pleasure machines. The exhibition highlights the ambivalent relationship between women and technology and how these roles have in part been shaped by it. Technology itself is far from neutral in this regard: its development invariably reflects prevailing social attitudes. At the same time, you will discover the important contributions that women have made to the development of technology in the home, in computing, in the medical discipline of fertility and in the sex industry.

Rail Alphabet 2
Rail Alphabet and the Design Research Unit's corporate identity remained in use by British Rail until the re-privatisation of the railways in the early 1990s. The new companies promoted their own individual commercial identities. Today, Britain's railway infrastructure is owned and operated by publicly owned Network Rail. It has embarked on a system-wide reassessment of its graphic identify, with the aim of creating a coherent approach throughout the stations that it controls.
Calvert and Kubel were commissioned in 2019/20 to design for this purpose a customised typeface that related to the original Rail Alphabet. The result was Rail Alphabet 2. Unlike any of Calvert's previous work, this letterform was designed specifically for both use on signing systems and as a digital text face. The typeface has a special weight for signs, and three weights with italics for Network Rail publications.
Margaret Calvert: Woman at Work
(May - August 2021)
With a career spanning six decades, graphic designer Margaret Calvert has produced timeless work that we see everywhere — often without realising it. Whether it is the design of the UK’s road signing system, with Jock Kinneir, wayfinding at railway stations and airports, or the typeface used on the gov.uk website, with Henrik Kubel, her work shapes much of our national visual identity.
This display marks the launch of Network Rail’s new customised typeface, Rail Alphabet 2, designed by her in close collaboration with Henrik Kubel in response to a new wayfinding system at Network Rail stations designed by Spaceagency. It will eventually be used in combination with a suite of bespoke pictograms to sign Network Rail’s stations, and as a text face for all their key built environment design publications.
