The Design

About Oil Street Art Space Système de signalétique directionnelle

Oil Street Art Space est un système de signalétique directionnelle conçu pour un lieu d'art public et de culture à Hong Kong. Le site comprend un bâtiment historique en briques rouges ainsi qu'un bâtiment plus récent de deux étages, doté d'espaces extérieurs destinés aux expositions et aux activités communautaires. La forme de la signalétique s'inspire du logo du lieu et associe trois surfaces distinctes. Le noir a été retenu pour s'harmoniser avec le cadre historique, l'une des surfaces reprenant la couleur de la marque. Les panneaux sont réalisés en acier inoxydable thermolaqué, avec des lettres gravées en creux et peintes, et sont fixés entre les briques afin de limiter les dommages causés au bâtiment.

Production Technology
Stainless Steel: powder coating and filling debossed letters in paint
Research
Research on signage installation protection on the historical building conducted while designing the signage. To minimise the damage to the building during installation and provide flexibility on future maintenance and replacement. At last, installing the signages in between the bricks for the historical building action had been taken.
Inspiration
The project is designing a wayfinding system for Oi! - Oil Street Art Space, an art oasis in urban city with original historical premises and new extension of contemporary building with outdoor spaces to host exhibition and community activities to the public. The form of the signage is a transformation of 'Oi!' logo and combined with three surface areas to illustrate the diversity and energetic vibe that 'Oi!' is going to bring to the community with the opening of a new phase.
Project Duration
May 2022, The Hong Kong SAR
Operation Flow
In consideration not to obscure the red bricks architectural features and to match with the historic environment as well as the contemporary exhibition and multipurpose venue, we proposed the black colour for the signage and touch up on the top left flipped area in 'Oi!' brand colour as well as the context. The set of approachable and manageable signage with consistent and helpful design to highlight the features and provide guidance to visitors to explore all parts of 'Oi!'.
