YORK/SHERIDAN DESIGN GRAD SHOW 2010

April 18 - 21, 2010 at the Fermenting Cellar in Toronto

The Italic Room

See all works by Linna Xu

This installation was created for the hallway on the fourth floor of Marienstraße 1 in Weimar, Germany, which was unique for its parallel slanting walls. The installation employed the language of graphic design to appeal to this audience to draw the attention of the students from the Bauhaus University back to the extraordinary architecture of the building. Fittingly dubbed “The Italic Room”, physical italic type titled the space and was coupled with simple geometric rectangles of various sizes to further emphasize the slant of the wall. The white color of the installed structures was employed to draw attention to the space rather than to the work itself.
