A Physical Typography

byChristiyani KabulQuek Teng Wan Tay Evon

There are several factors to consider when it comes to designing a typographic intervention: the space, the material, and the word.Everything needs to be linked in order to give the audience an elevated experience of the space they usually visit in school.

Most of the time was spentdetermining which of the three factors needed to be settled first in order to make our working process easier.

The quiet drawing room provided a large space for imagination; the materi-als for improvisation; and the environ-ment for inspiration.

The ProcessWe became fascinated by the typographic possibilities using just the different parts of the easels.

Using the wooden blocks that we found in the bin, we experimented with shadow casted by the sunlight from the windows.

Anyway,

we tried shadow play.

But the wrong direction

were the rays.

This was not the way.

When the easels dropped,

We were startled and say

‘AAHHH’.

Backwards we would hop.

Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop.

And this idea we then

dropped.

TypographicInstallation

Using easels and drawing props, we came up with the final installation – “ART”.

Art is a silent poetry.

Each line constructed is a

glimpse to what’s inside

for the others to see.
