The Design

About Vanke Skyline Bay Signage

Vanke Skyline Bay is a wayfinding signage system made for a coastal development in Yantai, China. The forms follow lines drawn from the sea, recalling the coastline and the traces left on the beach as the tide rises and falls. Each sign measures 0.6 meters in width, 1.8 meters in height and 0.15 meters in thickness. The signs are produced by cutting and welding stainless steel, a material selected to resist the sea wind near the shore. The design connects guidance information with the surrounding landscape and architecture.
