Projeto 8

Existing departmental names were variants of academic terms and many were too lengthy for signs. Acronyms were not liked by the project access group, nor were they helpful to international students. Fixing a name to a room in a work space designed for flexibility would mean constant updates to the wayfinding scheme. A room-coding system was proposed, comprising; the building name ( STU for Studios ), a floor level ( GR for Ground ), followed by a room number ( 15 ), and finally a letter ( c ) for rooms within rooms. Coding clockwise around each vertical core, the rooms become sequential and so can be anticipated, in the same way we search for a house number when walking down a street.
