Experiments: Type on Buildings 02
Alvar Aalto, Villa Mairea Elevation
a few words
This blog is an exploration of the interaction of different design disciplines. This ever expanding project is the main study of my MA on Graphic Arts+ Design at Leeds Metropolitan University.
This is an attempt to identify and record the major targets / experiments of this year's study. Research methods, design attempts and ideas, influences and links to other available material will be found here as well as future ideas and thoughts.
This blog should be the starting point of further thinking and exploration. Please feel free to comment and express your opinions on things you like or dislike.

Another example of type application on buildings. This time on the original Technical Drawings (Elevation).
A representation of what is happening behind the surface of the building in terms of use of spaces. The viewer is able to understand the layout of the house before entering into it.
By substracting the drawing for type, we can see a composition of typographic elements (words) in a way that is instructed from the building setup. Therefore the type represents the building and could possibly be a standalone element for a graphical representation of its elevation. A typographical elevation.
Thanx for the info mamute. Valuable information. Please keep up dropping any comments, ideas, suggestions.
:)
its great to see monospace alive and kicking, explore things you really like, watching exciting results
cant wait to see more of the design process

theoretical works - manhattan transcripts for inspiration!
If this helps, lets make an interactive exchange of info since we are both mature students in terms of innovation and creativity
