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. By graphically representing historical references and future projections, our brief was to plot, map and chart this information in an immediate, accessible way.
Solution
 Plus signs signifying an architectural grid were combined 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. Contrasting scale and symbolic colours guided visitors up the 5 levels following an intuitive path.
