Schneider's proposal for the fine art building really caught me eye
.
this is the entrance of the building
the hall way of the building, notice the number indicate the room number
the staircase toward 2nd floor
elevator exit at 3rd floorI enjoy seeing a environmental graphic design piece in this exhibit. If you ever enter into the Fine Art building at CSULA, the experience is rather cold and quiet. I often find myself lost in the building by entering into the wrong classroom, cs there is no differences between 2nd floor and 3rd floor. By painting the room number loud and clear on the wall at the hallway it gives the people in the building an sense of direction. It not only helps the newcomer finding their way but it also benefits the oldstayer (if that's a word).
I also love the colorful staircase and it's clear directions. Both of these two elements solve the problem of coldness and puzzlement of the building. This proposal gives the building warmth and playfulness.

Hey N,
That's a nice observation. I have the same point of view as yours. Also this is really a elegant and clear design for the fine art building.

Wow.. It seems like it was a very nice but big exhibition. I bet you can get a lot of inspiration and ideas from all of that.
That is pretty cool, because the Fine Art Building really does look lonely and empty. Hopefully, the proposal can pass so it can bring the FA Building back to life.
Wow this great proposal I must admit our art building need to be more Artistic. It does not feel like an art building up until you actually go into a class. A typographic approach to this would be very interesting. Wall with paintings are nice too.
It would be nice if the halls actually looked as they do in the photographs... Im taking about how clean and modern they look. I hope that if they do decide to go with that approach that they don't stop there and clean up the reast of the building. Perhaps some new paint and signage? Clean floors... more inspiration besides student events and posters? Anyone agree with me? lol.
