About Oil Street Art Space Sistema ng Wayfinding

Ang Oil Street Art Space ay isang sistema ng wayfinding na ginawa para sa isang pampublikong sining at kultural na lugar sa Hong Kong. Ang site ay may kasamang historikal na pulang brick building at isang mas bagong dalawang palapag na gusali na may mga outdoor na lugar para sa mga eksibisyon at aktibidad ng komunidad. Ang anyo ng signage ay hinango mula sa logo ng lugar at pinagsasama ang tatlong ibabaw na lugar. Ginamit ang kulay itim upang bagay sa historikal na kapaligiran, kasama ang isang bahagi sa kulay ng brand. Ang mga signage ay gawa sa stainless steel na may powder coating at pininturahang debossed na mga letra, at ikinabit sa pagitan ng mga brick upang limitahan ang pinsala sa gusali.

Unique Properties: Oi!- Oil Street Art Space, is housed in the former clubhouse of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club. It opens to the public as community leisure and cultural space in two phases after revitalisation and restoration, including a red-bricked Grade II historic building with a tile roof and over 3000 sqm outdoor area with a two-storey building incorporating an exhibition and multipurpose venue respectively.
Dimensions & Packaging: Various dimensions according to the application on site
Tags: Wayfinding System, Signage, Environmental Design, Art and Cultural Space
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!'.
