125 Jahre Emscher Genossenschaft

125 years of water management, urban transformation, and ecological change. The Emschergenossenschaft needed a ‘Jubiläumsbuch’ equal to the occasion. Melville developed the concept, design, and production.

The publication traces the Emscher River from its source to the Rhine — through the communities it shaped, combining historical and contemporary imagery to show what 125 years of change actually looks like.

Forewords by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and NRW Minister President Hendrik Wüst. Some books carry weight before you open them.
