ARCHITECTURE

OBJECTIVE

To visualize a good-looking 2D typography that could one day be materialised as a fundamental iconic structure of architecture.

APPROACH

I created the typeface Architecture in TypeTool. Like a city’s development, the conception of the design was like a metaphor for modernity and innovation.

It was also reminiscent of the days when I learned graphic design at high school, the process of this design resembled elements of creating 3D structures in degrees and calculating

angles on paper. Therefore, while building these actual letters I felt that the process was similar to that of designing buildings. Therefore, I felt it was most appropriate to name this typeface ‘Architecture’, because of its close resemblance to that of structural engineering and design.

Here, technology actually serves my desires and perceptions and takes me beyond the conventional process of design into virtual reality, where my designs can be instantaneously immortalized for global distribution and appreciation.

ORIGINAL SKETCHES

The second series of sketches display Architecture Regular in its infancy, with its facades and right-hand sides in view. The 3D font’s opposing walls are free of realisation and are left to the imagination of the viewer.
