The German concept of "Blaupause" refers to a blueprint or template that helps you create something new. Originally a technical drawing in engineering or architecture, it is now often used to describe a model or plan that others can easily copy or follow.
We used this idea to design the book Einfach mal machen. The dark blue color of the book reflects the "Blaupause" concept, emphasizing its role as a guide. It explains concepts through examples of projects realized by a small town in Germany, allowing readers to replicate or draw inspiration from these examples. It is intended for people who want to start their own projects and actively shape their surroundings.
