Brief Using archival data about the architecture profession, the Urban Design Research Institute wanted to engage the public, civic authorities, students and architects in a dialogue about the role of architecture in the future of urban India. Our role was to spatially interpret this story in a way that made it an accessible educational experience for a wide cross-section of visitors.
Solution
We combined plus signs signifying an architectural grid with typography and graphic elements to structure information in the vast space. Our design solution transformed the curved walls into a canvas for critical questions, texts, statistics, chronologies, photographs and architectural highlights. Guided by contrasting scale and symbolic colours visitors followed an intuitive path up the 5 levels.
