Typography becomes landscape… typography is landscape

The Mill Center for the Arts sponsored a national contest in 2005, funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, for the design of a new center in Hendersonville, North Carolina. In a collaboration with Jorge Rigau, FAIA Arquitectos, I participated in the creation, conceptualization and design of the proposal. Several components, from a typographical walkway, a narrative historical wall, and a remembrance pond were left on my charge.

Presentation boards designed and submitted to the competition.

The content expressed in the typography is differentiated by a system based on height differentiation.
