STAD ANTWERPEN & VLAAMSE OVERHEID / STEPS
Meeting point for project managers, architects a citizens.
Prodotto was seletected to design, develop and install urban meeting places on several new sites around the city of Antwerp. This resulting in 'STEPS'. A meeting place where project stakeholders and citizens can come together in an informal and playfull setting. This to connect, meet, discuss or to overview the site that is under construction.
Idea
'STEPS' is based on the idea of using (door)steps as a place for sitting or hanging around. Urban stages or auditoria can easiliy be created using 1 or more of these simple and low budget elements.
From A-Z
We worked on this project from start to finish. We won a first concept pitch and after approval we detailed the design, we sourced the right manufacturers and managed the installation on 8 different sites.
Graphic Design
All locations were provided with an integrated banner pole and custom replaceable recto verso poster panel. Designed according to the projects visual identity guidelines. This allowing the staff members to change the panels on a regular basis to keep citizens, architects and team other team members up to date.
Materials and Sustainability.
All sheetmetal parts were made from a flat pattern that was optimised for nesting in order to reduce material waste and cost. All wooden parts were made of high quality FSC-certified European timber (Hardness 4.0 on Brinell scale). To increase sustainibility all metal parts used were hot-dip galvanised and powder-coated.
