The project
Archicercle fabricated the NOZOMI sign in cement-based material using a CNC milling machine. The lettering takes shape as three-dimensional pieces with a light grey tone and a stone-like surface appearance.
The composition brings together the NOZOMI letters, a vertical line and a series of symbols to the right. The elements are presented as separate pieces, combining straight strokes and curves to form the typographic arrangement.
The studio’s contribution was the fabrication of the sign. The cement-based material and CNC milling are the two documented aspects of its production: a material that gives the letters a physical presence and a machining process used to shape their outlines.
Details of the individual pieces reveal their edges and the depth of the lettering. In contrast to reading the name as a whole, this closer view draws attention to each letter and symbol as a separate object.
