Kipp Madison - Landesberg Design

Kipp’s work for clients such as The Heinz Endowments and Green Building Alliance has earned national attention in Graphis, Communication Arts, and Print magazines (his exhibit panels in Pittsburgh’s new convention center were featured in Communication Arts’ “Green Design” issue). Kipp joined Landesberg in 2001. He has a flair for playful and inventive design solutions involving image, language, and typographic interplay.

A favorite structure or environment is:

The Kaufmann Center for the Performing Arts in Kansas City. This concert/performance venue evokes musicality, and I love its combination of indoor/outdoor sensibilities: as the natural light changes, so does the building’s transparency, reflecting the structure’s surroundings. Its Downtown placement is superb—it rises from tall grass plantings, almost as if it were built in a Missouri wheat field.

My hidden talent

I can ride a unicycle. (although it’s been a while.)
