St.Lucas Hospital - signage & wayfinding
RikGrafiek was approached by Abscis Architects to design a signage and wayfinding system for the newly-built AZ St. Lucas hospital parking towers in Gent, Belgium. A clear and simple icon set was created to fit the architectural aesthetic of the building. All signage is in white to complement the stark nature of the concrete while teal lines on the floor lead visitors to the elevators and stair cases. The characters feature loops as heads to emphasize the fluent traffic within the parking towers.The rounded lines of the icons reflect the curved corners of the building, while the floor numbers were placed in diamond shapes based on the pattern in the railing.
