Recipient of the SEGD (Society for Experiential Graphic Design) Global Design Honor Award 2016.
The heart and catalyst of the regeneration of Al Quoz industrial district in Dubai.
Alserkal Avenue, a private compound of warehouses, is home to the city’s trendiest cultural spots, with a multitude of creative spaces, contemporary galleries, museums and artist residencies. PenguinCube was involved in creating a temporary seamless wayfinding system for the inauguration event. The aim was to encourage the flow of visitors from areas they were used to navigating toward the new expansion.
The objective was to make the new and old parts of the development appear seamless.
The team’s solution resulted in a minimalist, text-free design, which proved an instant hit with visitors and tenants alike.
The arrows were assembled on site, and the entire project, from design to delivery, took two weeks and was executed at very low cost.
