About SDI Teaching Building Deseño Visual Espacial

O Edificio Docente SDI é un deseño visual espacial para o interior dun edificio de ensino de seis plantas. Combínanse paredes de gran escala con textos de gran escala para substituír unha atmosfera baleira e ríxida por unha creativa. Unha tipografía alemá clásica fai eco do modelo de ensino alemán da escola de deseño. DIN, a tipografía estándar dos sinais de tráfico alemáns, marca a información de orientación, mentres que Futura emprégase para o resto dos textos. Aplícase pintura mural fina ata os cinco metros, con cores superpostas e letras amoreadas. Algúns textos están feitos de acrílico para crear un contraste de materiais.

Unique Properties: Solving the originally empty, rigid, and lifeless issues of the teaching building with light construction, low cost, and heavy impact methods, the design utilizes large-scale walls combined with large-scale text for spatial visual design. It adopts the classic century-old German font to echo the college's unique German teaching training model. In terms of layout, it uses detailed design such as text stacking, color overlapping.
Dimensions & Packaging: The space has 6 floors, the first floor space is 5 metres high and the building is hollowed out with a very distinctive rotating staircase leading up to the 4th floor.
Tags: Shenzhen Technology University, Space vision, space design
Production Technology: The design breaks the sense of large color block segmentation and the empty, rigid, and lifeless atmosphere within the building by using large-scale walls combined with flat text, font, and creative layout methods.The construction carried out fine wall paint on the wall up to 5 meters, and adopted the way of color overlapping to make the space more vivid and artistic. Some local text used acrylic to form a collision between materials.
Design Challenge: The client wishes to infuse the originally empty space with vitality and approachability while maintaining a minimalist aesthetic, and also to achieve an international visual experience and the creative atmosphere that a design academy should have.
Research: Shenzhen Technology University, established in 2016, is a new applied university in the Greater Bay Area. Its School of Creative Design, with an international educational philosophy, has cultivated many talents. However, the school's spatial atmosphere has not kept up with its swift growth. The large-scale space feels empty and dull, and the high ceilings and massive spiral staircases make the space rigid and lifeless. Additionally, the strong industrial feel and prevalent gray tones create a teaching environment that lacks warmth and feels distant.
Inspiration: The design breaks the sense of large color block segmentation and the empty, rigid, and lifeless atmosphere within the building by using large-scale walls combined with flat text, font, and creative layout methods. It adopts the classic century-old German font to echo the German teaching model of the Creative Design Academy, using the DIN font, the standard font for German road signs, as the guiding functional text font in the space, and Futura font for other uses.
Project Duration: The project started in Shenzhen in April 2023 and will be completed in Shenzhen in August 2023
Operation Flow: This building has 6 floors, we do visual design for the interior space of this building, that is, "help him put on a beautiful dress", so that the children studying here can feel the design atmosphere, and strengthen the logo of each floor, so that he is more distinctive and more visual impact.
In terms of layout, it uses detailed design such as text stacking, color overlapping, and digital projection to create a strong visual impact and greatly enhance the creative design atmosphere.
