Hi,
I'm new to this so I hope I'm posting in the right place! I'm a graphic design university student going into my final year and have chosen to do my dissertation on the use of typography in architecture.
Most of the resources on this topic focus on signage or wayfinding systems, but I would like to look at buildings where typography is much more integral to the overall design; this could be as part of the actual building (such as the wales millennium centre) or separate but in a way that really adds to the overall impact of the design.
I'm struggling to find good examples of this, especially in the UK where I stand a better chance of being able to talk to architects/typographers involved in the project – I'm appealing for suggestions please!
I'm particularly interested in looking at how the stage in the design process where the typography was introduced affects its overall impact and effectiveness.
Any help would really be appreciated, thanks. |
