JIANIANHUA CENTER – ENVIRONMENTAL GRAPHICS

The first super-graphic commisioned  to celebrate Chinese New Year and the opening of an adjacent park to the building. It is 'an urban flower box' that celebrates the approach of spring and 'captures the ultimate symbol of good fortune in China'. The concept is visualised through  endless combinations of abstract patterns, shapes and colour sequences through its programmed rotation of the individual panels.

Using a standard triad signage system, the building’s entire eight-story facade was transformed into a slow-moving choreographed graphic through an innovative integration of architecture and graphic design. I find that the use of combining two fields of design together to communicate something meaningful through architecture and graphic design is very interesting.

As a public artwork, this design adds a visual appeal and colour to the city. The facade stands out without using any commercial graphics.
