The project
ALCOLE commissioned Archicercle to realise its new façade. Starting with a graphic design by mamidibuja, we reinterpreted the two-dimensional artwork in three dimensions and brought it to life on the school’s exterior.
The studio’s contribution focused on this transition from 2D to 3D. Taking the original graphic design as our starting point, we developed its three-dimensional reinterpretation and realised the façade, with mamidibuja responsible for the graphic design and Archicercle for translating it into built form.
The composition combines white surfaces with a red lower band featuring an undulating outline, alongside red shutters. The ALCOLE name, nursery school lettering and figurative elements, including blue clouds, are arranged across this backdrop. Colour and graphic shapes bring the façade together as a whole.
The signage is accompanied by a blue-framed information panel featuring an illustration of a girl. These elements translate the graphic identity across different scales, from the name identifying the school to the information beside the entrance. The completed façade takes an externally created graphic language and reinterprets it as a three-dimensional composition.
