Sculptures in the Park

What are you looking at?

Sculptures in the Park was a collaborative project with Penn State architecture students. Students in Arch491 were tasked to created a series of buildings located on an 11-acre community in Cleveland, Ohio. They created stacked buildings based on the game jenja with contrasting elliptical pathways.

My design team of three were then tasked to create a visual system that properly unifies the Jenga inspired buildings, naming concepts, tree canopy, contrast between blocky buildings and elliptical pathways.

Process

This was an exciting project because we got to see architecture students process and reasoning for creating this space. They had already picked the name Sculptures in the Park which was hard to work with because it was a lengthy name, but we made it work!

The logo was inspired by the Jenga shaped building. Once the logo was finalized, we created a versatile textile using the shape. We wanted a simple textile that the community could use across a variety of deliverables. The options are endless for where else it can be applied.

Our focus was to create a wayfinding system so the community could easily navigate the area. The angular shapes of the signage were directly taken from our logo design.

The architecture students wanted to inspire the return of urban life in Cleveland through this design, aspiring to breathe life in the community from dusk till dawn. So, we created an app that will update the community on local events, news reports, weather, and more.
