Project Brief:
A new community center is being built in a small town, financed by local businesses to support the local workforce and attract new residents, particularly immigrants. The center will offer cultural and educational programs, a library, and social and legal services to assist both locals and newcomers, many of whom do not speak English and come from diverse cultural backgrounds. Develop a visual orientation system for the center, ensuring clear, accessible navigation for all visitors. The system should incorporate a building directory and an events schedule.

A single gradient line serves as the community center's primary wayfinding system. This continuous color-changing pathway wraps around the building’s walls, transitioning smoothly across the color spectrum. Visitors can identify their location based on color, making navigation easy even for those who do not speak English.

ENVIRONMENTAL GRAPHIC DESIGN
The event schedule system is designed to be a fully modular and dynamic way to communicate events happening within the community center. Each event is displayed on a removable plank, allowing for easy insertion and removal to indicate whether an event is scheduled at a particular room. The event titles, times, and dates are displayed using magnetic letters. Integrated seamlessly into the gradient navigation line, it is organized using the building’s color-coded wayfinding system.
