Extra Credit Design Review

For one of my extra projects, I decided to review a famous design of a school called the Esisar school. It is done by Ruedi Baur, a famous designer who tends to work with more media based design such as architecture and beautifying objects rather than 2d surfaces and computers. He is quoted saying, "The questions that concern me are not simply those of graphic design but issues of orientation, identification and information." It is clear through his work that he loves the show what things do/what their purposes are through design. For example, the building for the Esisar School that he designed, is composed mainly of glass but has very unique looking decals put all over the glass surfaces of binary code (ones and zeroes). Since it is a engineering school, it only makes sense to have the mathematical formulaic basis of ones and zeroes, all over the windows to stand for what the school interacts with. 

The typography is in a very simple sans sarif font, with many streams of lines of numbers intersecting each-other at different sizes and different positions vertically. It was made in 1997. The one thing that does stay consistent is that they are all a very neutral blue color, and always run horizontally and intersect at the same parallel angle. The building is mainly white but the architecture is very fascinating so it looks very sheik altogether. From a distance, the numbers look 3d, like their are several layers of them going back to the back of the building, but this is just because they are perspectively made to look like this.
