Graphics Reference
In-Depth Information
The scheme imposed at Design Museum Holon balances aesthetics and functionality,
while being sensitive to its environment. It is simple to navigate, using only a small
number of decision points and sub-destinations. This eliminates the need to use too
much directional information, keeping the signage clean and clear. The design com-
municates the bare minimum that the user needs and is used only where absolutely
necessary to good effect.
The Society for Environmental Graphic Design jury remarked, 'A simple idea is what
makes this graphic design so successful. The message is clear without distracting at-
tention from the museum exhibits. The fact that the arrows peel away from the wall
in a way that has not been done before allows them to become quiet sculptural pieces
of art themselves.' This project resulted in Adi being given the Tokyo Type Directors
Club Award for his design.
