Kindergarten Marktstrasse Signaletik
Award: Graphite Pencil
Graphite Pencil / Graphic Design / Wayfinding & Environmental Graphics / 2017
We developed a wayfinding system for the new building at Kindergarten Marktstraße. We had the idea of letting the children themselves come up with their own designs during the building phase.
A non-place like a parking garage becomes a linchpin of children’s imagination throughout their drawings.
The colour concept enables to differentiate the four classrooms.
Leading towards the emerging sense of type, a further and careful adaptation process inspired a typographical and symbolic wayfinding system, suited to be friendly but distinctive and blend in perfectly.
