The project
The Centro Instructivo Musical de Benimaclet, known locally as ‘El Musical’ or ‘El CIM’, is a historic musical society in this district of Valencia. Following earlier collaborations, it returned to Archicercle to design and manufacture its new sign.
The composition brings together the CIM identity and the name of Escola de Música Hipòlit Martínez in a vertical format. A treble clef sits at the top, with text and graphic elements arranged along the panel. The completed sign is positioned on the school’s façade.
The work combined wood engraving, die-cutting and raised elements. Coloured letters and components add depth to the wooden surface, with pink, black and blue accents. Engraving and relief sit alongside one another within the composition, rather than placing all the information on a single plane.
Transparent mirror-effect acrylic was also incorporated, with the intention of creating a translucent appearance when looking through it. Archicercle’s contribution covered both the design and manufacture of the sign: a piece that combines text, musical symbols and different surface treatments to identify the school.
