The Miller Hull Partnership received an AIA Honor Award for Interior Architecture for the University of Washington’s Odegaard Undergraduate Library renovation. Mayer/Reed created the experiential graphics and wayfinding as part of the collaborative design effort that reimagined the space for 21st century learning.
We are honored to have two projects featured in a new book by Per Mollerup, Wayshowing>Wayfinding: Basic & Interactive. The firm’s visual communications work for Tri-Met Portland Transit Mall and the Vancouver Community Library are featured as examples of successful wayshowing from around the world.
The book is a follow-up to the 2005 edition, Wayshowing: A Guide to Environmental Signage which also featured Mayer/Reed’s work. Per Mollerup is Professor of Communication Design at Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne and author of several books on design.
The Bud Clark Commons courtyard gate is featured in the current edition of eg, the award-winning magazine focusing on visual communications in the built environment. The magazine is published quarterly by the Society for Experiential Graphic Design (SEGD).
“Mayer/Reed was responsible for landscape architecture and environmental graphics for the center, including a distinctive courtyard gate that at once communicates the center’s ethos of safety and inclusiveness.
Waterjet-cut from weathering steel, the 16-foot-wide gate contains quotations that establish connections to the community and to the shared human condition.”
