Our work is based on an integrated, open source approach that aims to give our clients a thorough understanding of, and complete ownership over, their content and related data. Open, interconnected data matter, now more than ever.

We also offer editorial and consulting services, for all your English language content needs. Provide us with a first draft of your English language copy, and Unmethod will do the rest — using a rigorous research and drafting process, we transform rough concepts into concise and logically continuous narratives. Clear, original language matters, now more than ever.

Notations

16-4-2024

On maps that matter: the BBC revisits Fra Mauro’s mappa mundi at the Biblioteca Marciana in Venice, which presents a European view of the world thirty-three years before Columbus sets foot on Guanahaní. An interactive version of the map is here.

4-4-2024

The moment Klaus Mäkelä was named music director designate of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra: “Many maestros would take the opportunity to wax a little eloquent before getting down to business; Mäkelä spoke for less than 20 seconds before raising his baton to start the rehearsal.”

27-3-2024

Cosmic continuity: today, Richard Serra died at the age of 85 at his home in Orient, New York, while a retrospective of Constantin Brâncuși’s work opened at the Centre Pompidou, Paris.

15-1-2024

On books that matter: Christie’s auctions a 1555 edition of Andreas Vesalius’s De Humani Corporis Fabrica, featuring over one thousand marginal annotations in the author’s own hand. “This copy, whose annotations are the closest we can get to Vesalius’s thoughts in how he would conceive of a third edition, is a work entirely sine pari.” Bidding is now closed.
