BRANDING, WEBSITE AND DIGITAL ADAPTATIONS
EN
Design of the branding of the 2021 Singapore annual Architecture Festival, Archifest. This online edition of #AF21 was under the theme ‘Design Evidence’.
“Design Evidence is an invitation to debate, discover and redefine what architecture could be. We believe that bringing together a diversity of voices is a step towards a more inclusive dialogue. 2021 is a fresh chance to promote architecture and design to a broad community of passionate individuals and the greater public.We have built tremendous resilience over the past 12 months and I strongly believe that our local, regional and global audiences are ready to take virtual and physical engagements to the next level, and why not – have some good fun with it.” Archifest Commitee

Client
Archifest, Singapore Institute of Architects
We wanted to introduce Archifest in a new light, bringing a sense of dynamism to the brand while anchoring on the AF’s principles of inclusivity and being accessible to broader communities.
GREEN AND BLUE
We introduced a refreshed colour palette inspired by the environmental elements of Singapore’s nature and landscape surrounding its architecture, brought together through a gradient combination that interacts spiritedly, evoking a sense of excitement and optimism.
THE GRID
Inspired by an architect’s workspace, a subtle grid system provides the foundation for content, allowing elements to be purposefully placed for optimal visibility. Clean typographic elements with clear hierarchy also keep the information accessible yet dynamic as they take up different spots within the space.
THE RIBBON
A key element within the identity is an unfolding ribbon, weaving through the typography and grid, revealing hidden corners and unveiling information to encapsulate the act of uncovering and discovering evidence.
Archifest celebrates the architecture in our lives and this identity makes an optimistic and strong statement, paving the way for an evolved festival experience into a hybrid realm for the years to come.
DIGITAL NATIVE
Our take on a hybrid festival transcends physical activations and installations, into a seamless experience for the digital natives. We developed a flexible visual system for the identity – one that lends itself well to various formats of online executions while keeping the identity fresh at every touch-point.
