BEST OF THE BEST SEGD’s constant goal is to educate, connect and inspire our global community of professionals creating experiences that connect people to place. In that spirit, we present our second print annual, SEGD17, which honors the people, companies and projects setting the standards of excellence in experiential graphic design. This publication features the “best of the best” in experiential graphic design, recognized through the SEGD Global Design Awards and SEGD Achievement Awards.

The 2017 SEGD Global Design Award winning projects are wholly interesting and delightful to review, ranging from an installation that helps students understand the value of recycling to an elegant wayfinding solution inspired by the hulls of ships to an entire museum dedicated to every aspect of making and appreciating wine.

Winning projects notably employed innovative uses of materials and technology to create truly integrated solutions. The everexpanding range of international projects also presents a shift in the larger design community toward developing more meaningful experiences.

“Technology is changing human behavior and environments faster than ever before. The solution requires groups

of designers from various subsets who together can understand systems and shape stories to help make sense of it all,” remarks Paul McConnell (Intersection, New York), the 2017 SEGD Global Design Awards Chair. “People come to physical spaces for a physical connection. They’re putting their personal screens away, looking up more frequently and demanding more from their spaces. It’s an orchestrated experience of traditional and digital communications that provides value. As our field expands and our spaces are reimagined, the SEGD Global Design Awards will continue to recognize a cross-section of purposeful and inspirational solutions.”

We hope you’ll find inspiration and enjoyment in the industry-leading projects and people highlighted in the pages of SEGD17.

But your exploration of the 2017 SEGD Global Design Awards and 2017 SEGD Achievement Awards shouldn’t end here—this is just the beginning. You can discover so much more and gain deeper insights perusing the award galleries, reading motivating interviews with recipients and watching videos of the awards ceremonies in Miami at SEGD.org.

Jan Lorenc’s storied practice is rooted in a formula resulting in anything but the formulaic: reaching a holistic understanding of each and every project that informs a totally unique experience.

L

orenc recently took his position in the pantheon of SEGD Fellows at the 2017 SEGD Conference Experience Miami, beside experiential graphic design trailblazers including Massimo Vignelli, Lance Wyman, Wayne Hunt, Robert Venturi, Sue Gould, David Gibson, Donald Meeker and Michael Reed, among others.

Lorenc holds degrees in industrial design, architecture and visual communication, and he and his multidisciplinary firm have received numerous honors and accolades over 39 years since the founding of Lorenc+Yoo Design. Lorenc is the author of an exhibit design textbook,“What Is Exhibition Design?” and serves as a frequent design lecturer and adjunct professor of exhibition design at Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), as well as at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Despite the recognition and success, Lorenc was noticeably humble about this particular award. “Frankly I was surprised that I was awarded this fellowship, but I’m honored and grateful,” he remarked. “I feel like a bit of an outsider because we approach things from an architectural standpoint, even though graphics play a big role.”

While Lorenc may be surprised, others in the community are decidedly not. “I have admired Jan’s work over a period of many years,” writes Jerome Cloud, FSEGD, of Cloud Gehshan Associates. Wayne Hunt, FSEGD, of Hunt Design began his commendation with, “Jan has been a largely unsung EGD superstar for a very long time.”

When did you first become interested in design?

As a kid, I was always drawing. I can remember drawing in Poland and certainly later, when I came to the United States, my interest grew.

When it came time for me to go to college, I was thinking about art school, but my parents expressed strong doubts about my future livelihood as an artist. We had a friend of the family who was familiar with the Bauhaus, and he suggested I go to Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) in Chicago for architecture instead.

My SAT English score was not high enough to make the cut-off for the architecture program, yet I was determined to go to IIT. Everyone knows what architecture is: It’s buildings.

With industrial design, however, I had to do some research. I planned to get into the Institute of Design and then transfer to architecture within a semester.

I got into the program and the first semester was just amazing; the curriculum was a lot of theory and photography.

It wasn’t until later that the methodology was taught. While I was learning all these skills, I was still thinking I would transfer upstairs to architecture. So I went up to see what those students were up to—they were drawing little bricks and I-beams and windows all inspired by Mies Van Der Rohe and I thought, ‘Man, this is really boring compared to all this exciting stuff I’m being immersed in at every single class.’ Industrial design was just an amazing, amazing way for me, so I stayed on.

Why experiential graphic design?

That’s a good question.

Early into my career in industrial design, I served as design director at Ted Peterson Associates (an offshoot of Unimark), which had undertaken the identity and signage program for Target stores—one that continues to be used today. That was my

first contact between graphic design and something dimensional, but it wasn’t all that dimensional compared to the work I later moved my firm into.

When I started my firm in 1978, I actually started doing industrial design for the first couple of years. When we moved to Atlanta, the opportunities came two-fold: doing work both in industrial design and environmental graphics.

Then I got a project that was huge at the time. It was a couplemillion-square-feet convention center. I started to really learn about architecture at that point: division of space, the differences in measurement conventions and how to move people through a big complex environment. At that point, the work in signage actually became more interesting than the product design and there was greater opportunity in it as I grew the firm.

When we started doing work in the Midwest, I became more interested in architecture. Coming off of an industrial design undergraduate degree and master’s in graphic design, I decided I was going to go back to school in 1990 for a master’s in architecture because I wanted to become a better space designer. I kept the firm active while I returned for my architectural degree.

I always hunger for new challenges, whether it’s going back to school or doing projects in a different country or market.

Experiential graphic design is broad enough for exploration.

When I first started in experiential graphic design, it was so pigeonholed. For example, I hadn’t done fifty hospitals so I wasn’t qualified. It was that kind of attitude. At one point, we did specialize in commercial developments and we learned a lot, but after awhile for me, personally, it became formulaic. I still feel like I don’t want to do the same thing day in and day out. For a small firm of ten people, that’s why we do a broad mixture and we’re able to get some monumental-scale projects and pull them off.

Which projects or achievements affected the trajectory of your career?

I got my first design job in my sophomore year of college. I worked at a corporate identity firm called Design Consultants Incorporated. After that, I worked in a small firm called E. Burton Benjamin Associates. In my senior year, I became the design director there. It was a pretty well-known firm at that

time, but the work was humdrum. I designed this little thing that’s probably still out there: It’s a little thing with blue water in it and when it tilts back and forth it creates a wave. I designed that thing and I thought, ‘I don’t want a career filled with garbage like that.’

We’ve had a number of clients who’ve been instrumental in pushing me. Even early on in my career, there was a commercial office development project called Wildwood where we designed this piece of signage that became a sculpture as opposed to just a sign. That was a launching point for my approach to experiential graphic design. It’s so much more than a pylon with nice text on it. In exhibit design, our firm did a project for Georgia Pacific Distribution Division that I enjoyed immensely because it became so free-spirited in telling the story of a division that sells construction materials.

Doing work overseas and specifically in China was a big stepping stone for me personally, as well as for the firm. We began doing wayfinding for a large residential-commercial complex and the client asked us if we’d done any architectural façade work because they wanted us to enhance the design of this

building. As a result of my constant thirst for a new challenge, we said we’d do it even though we hadn’t done anything like that before. It was scarier than hell. That was how we got into what we call ‘architectural jewelry.’ That project catapulted us into designing full buildings in China.

Another Chinese project we worked on that is wrapping now is a faux version of Lucerne, Switzerland, where people live and work. It’s essentially a mini-town where we touched nearly everything. We did a signage and wayfinding system for it, as well as placemaking from the pavers to the sculptures and fountains to whole buildings.

In my career, even though it seems like a quirky project, it was a wonderful experience to be able to do all kinds of different things, not just the signage. The whole idea of creating an experience in a space came full circle for me on that project.

More typical wayfinding and placemaking projects have been important to us over the years too. We still do things like campus signage, business parks and retail centers. In fact, probably a third of our work is in casinos all over the country; we design spaces and thematic areas, crafting the whole space, look and feel.

“ None of the stuff we’ve done anywhere would be possible without collaboration. Building a trust and a friendship is critical; if you get adversarial or egotistical, things are going to collapse. By collaborating well, we’ve been able to grow with every single project we’ve done. ”

What project are you most happy with?

It’s hard to say. It always seems to be the last project I worked on that’s my favorite.

The themes of storytelling and collaboration come up a lot in discussions of your work. What roles do they place in your practice?

None of the stuff we’ve done anywhere would be possible without collaboration. Building a trust and a friendship is critical; if you get adversarial or egotistical, things are going to collapse. By collaborating well, we’ve been able to grow with every single project we’ve done.

Every project is storytelling. There’s storytelling in everything you do, from using the right font to using the right colors; it plays a role in everything we do. It may not literally be crafting fairy tales like the Opalus project, but every project has a story to tell.

What do you think will be your design legacy?

What do you want to be known for?

I don’t know. I guess I want to be known for not having a

design formula—but for going and trying different things.

Twenty-five years ago, I was doing a project for IBM and Gwathmey Siegel was the architect. I presented my work to the client, as well as Charles Gwathmey and Bob Siegel. Gwathmey was the design partner at that firm and he made a comment that my work doesn’t have a consistent look and feel. I thought, ‘Well, that’s a compliment.’ I thought it was a great thing.

Another example was with Massimo Vignelli over the years.

He presented and talked about his five fonts that he uses, his square, sphere and cube. I thought it was limiting and I always got into arguments with him during meetings. As I grew to be more mature, I came to really respect Vignelli’s vision. Eventually, we became friends, and I feel that he honed his craft while continuing to explore and enjoy variety.

I still don’t know if we have a recognizable look and feel to what we do because it’s a look and feel that we craft individually for each project. Is there a legacy in inconsistency, or is it just a personal joy and maybe not so much a legacy?

Co-created by iart ag’s engineering and design team and architects Christ & Gantenbein, the Kunstmuseum Basel Light Frieze was a part of the building expansion design in 2010. The museum is located in the center of Basel, Switzerland, at the intersection of five streets.

The light frieze fulfills the museum’s need for external communication by making visible its rhythms, exhibitions and events on the façade of the building. This allows the museum to provide insight into its activities, without actually revealing what is inside—piquing the interest of passers-by.

Designed to be an integral part of the architecture, the effect of the light frieze is produced through a symbiosis of stone and light, dynamically emblazoning the building’s brick façade with words and graphic elements. For the viewer, the play of light and shadow emerges is fleeting and yet seems to be as solid as the masonry itself.

From the very beginning of the project, instead of using banners, flags or screens, the design team searched for a

media solution that is both architectural and facilitates communication. To them, a building’s façade is always more than just a wall and a framework for the entrance: It always reflects—albeit in very different ways—the aspirations, the essence and the functions of the building.

The frieze was developed and implemented iteratively over the course of several years through the use of feasibility studies and phenomenological tests. The design and architecture team also created a complex 3-D simulation in order to determine visibility from different axes and streets leading to the museum.

The subtle way the frieze is enlivened by light allows the façade to change its character, seeming sometimes more and sometimes less transparent, suggesting diverse interactions between the building’s interior and the urban space. During the course of a day, a delicate balance of shadow emerges, shifting with the natural light; at night, the frieze creates the illusion that the façade is porous, as if one could view into the building.

SEGD17 — 23

BEST OF SHOW + HONOR AWARD

24 — SEGD17

The three-meter-high and 115-meter-long frieze encircles the building at a height of 12 meters. Sensors on the roof of the building determine the amount of light that falls on each of the individual segments of the façade in order to adjust the luminance of the LEDs accordingly. The reflection on the bricks creates an indirect light that can be used to display both text and graphics.

The light frieze proves that the desire for timeless architecture and the incorporation of new media are not mutually exclusive. The project effectively brings the stylistic element of a frieze into the digital age both technologically and aesthetically— without stripping it of its original context. By providing a lively moving element within an otherwise static architecture, it physically presents the museum as the dynamic organization it is.

“ This project is simply breathtaking. It redefines what it means to integrate digital environmental graphics with architecture in the public realm. It totally blurs the lines between communication design and built environment design where both are read as one unified expression. ” —Jury comment

SYLVIA HARRIS AWARD + MERIT AWARD Who, Like Me, Is Threatened?

Center for Civil and Human Rights Atlanta

28 — SEGD17

Sylvia Harris (1953–2011), the founder and principal of Citizen Research & Design, was a passionate advocate of design for the public good. The Sylvia Harris Award honors her work and her legacy.

Project Area 330 sq ft Open Date June 2014 Design Second Story, part of SapientRazorfish Design Team Chris DeWan (creative lead), Matt Arnold (technical lead), Joe Condon (production lead), Erin Aigner (content strategist), Neil Gallagher (senior designer), Norman Lau (senior experience designer), Philippe Laulheret (technologist), Marc Lehman

In 2014, the Center for Civil and Human Rights opened in Atlanta as a hub for education, connection, collaboration and action. By challenging visitors to understand their role in helping others and empowering them to “take the protection of every human’s rights personally,” the museum sheds much-needed light on a variety of global issues and, most importantly, the people experiencing them.

The installation utilizes interactive mirrors to mimic the experience of standing face to face with another person, listening to their story. As visitors approach, depth-sensing cameras respond to their presence. Looking into interactive mirrors, they can see strangers returning their gaze, each labeled with a single identifier: “I am ________.” Visitors select the label that resonates with them and then are able to watch interviews with individuals who have been persecuted because of that label or trait. The stories are poignant, real testimonials from a diverse cross-section of people around the world. By allowing visitors to literally see themselves in others, the installation promotes an empathetic frame of mind— the ideal condition for further exploration of the exhibitions.

“ ‘ Who, Like Me, Is Threatened?’ provides a welcoming while powerful and immediate encounter for any of us—forcing us to look inside ourselves to see what we find, literally and figuratively.

Frankly, I wish we had these on every street corner.”
