signage system
bitterfeld 2000

characters, arrows and layout plans are arranged in a matrix that governs the hierarchy of the information. the horizontal spacing between the different sized characters and fonts is set according to a particular number of units of the matrix. vertically, the matrix is based on the line spacing of the smallest font size. the characters and text are printed in anthracite on the exposed concrete surfaces and in silver on the coloured wall facings.
