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.
