LABELING AS A MEANS OF URBAN IDENTIFICATION

Jorge Rigau, FAIA Architects was commissioned the design of a Fine Arts School in the urban center of Hormigueros. In turn, we were hired to design a sign to identify the building.

Based on the architects’ proposed design—with a series of perforations to the main façade—we designed a multi-level die-cut sign to blend with into the design language.

IDENTIFYING A CULTURAL MARKER

Since 1965, Popular’s headquarters have been in Popular Center. This building’s name, while known, had never been visible in the structure. We were tasked with materializing this abstract yet culturally known marker.

We analyzed the bank’s historic signage projects. Letterforms were documented, contrasted, re-contextualized as a set of  custom letters drawn for the building, and ultimately produced as signage.

COSMOLOGICAL BELIEFS TRANSLATE TO GRAPHIC DESIGN

Puerto Rico’s Jesuit order commissioned Jorge Rigau FAIA Architects the design of a columbarium with ecological characteristics to serve as resting place for some order’s priests. In turn, we were tasked with designing the graphic markers that would differentiate each of the tombs where the ashes would be deposited.

Through its architectural and graphic designs, the project’s physical form acts as a contemporary interpretation of the Jesuit’s tradition of making cosmological explanations through the use of concentric circles.

SIGNAGE FACILITATING MOVEMENT

El Colaboratorio, by Foundation for Puerto Rico, commissioned the design of a signage and wayfinding system for its Ciudadela location.

Using the design of its own brand language (colors and typography), we devised signs that marked specific locations while integrating into the space’s newly designed architecture. The project fulfills ADA public space requirements.

GRAPHIC MURALS AS SPACEMAKERS

Foundation for Puerto Rico created the co-working space El Colaboratorio to host various foundations that do work that benefits Puerto Rico. We were commissioned to give the space a graphic language through a series of visual murals that were sprinkled through the property.

Local themes, such as the Santurce trolley stops, Jaime Suárez’ El Totem or select daily scenes, were translated into visual cues for the murals’ creation.

BRANDING FOR LEGIBILITY

B. Fernández & Hnos., now over 125 years old, has had a few image updates over the past decades. We were tasked with updating the image to better communicate in the contemporary social media landscape.

Formal details were polished, typography and color updated, signage prepared and brand elements specified. The current business structure served as canvas for the new brand color structure.
