Entry Description

50th anniversary – Inspired by the brutalist architecture on campus, steles were designed that are characterized by their sculptural aesthetics. Signage and architecture merge into a design unity and auratize each other. The letter signs on the façades form the centerpiece of the system and were integrated into the design of the steles to achieve a consistent and easily memorable information visualization.

The signage of barrier-free areas has been used for the first time in the visual communication of the university since it was founded in 1972.
