SDI Teaching Building

by Meng Shenhui for Meng Shenhui

The design leverages large scale walls, integrating the font selection and creative layout of planar text, to shatter the sense of fragmentation caused by large color blocks within the building, as well as the atmosphere of emptiness, rigidity, and lack of vitality. In terms of font application, a classic German font with a century-long history is chosen to echo the German style teaching model of the creative design academy. Specifically, the DIN font, which is the standard for German road signs, is used for the directional text within the space, while other texts employ the Futura font.
