Design Thinking
As I thought about how to visually represent the architecture firm, I naturally gravitated towards the notion of structure, which is fundamental to their work. However, given their additional expertise in landscaping, I wanted to convey a sense of versatility. So, I aimed to blend the solidity of architectural form with the fluidity of organic shapes found in nature, capturing the firm's multifaceted approach in a simple yet effective manner.
Design MAKING
I concluded that one of the most impactful ways to visually convey the sense of structure and nature is through stairs. Stairs not only exist indoors but also outdoors, requiring significant stability and diverse shapes, including rounded forms, while still emphasizing the core concept of structure. I created a circular staircase, slightly abstract yet unmistakably recognizable as stairs, and paired it with a typeface sharing the same characteristics of the staircase.
