Art school type
Alternative, adaptable sign system

 

Building names and interior signs at the RCA Battersea site by Cartlidge Levene avoid the bland corporate with a flexible approach to how and where different levels of information are accommodated.

The multilayered system comprises permanent painted lettering, quiet white on concrete, a brighter slotted rail system that holds both permanent screen-printed aluminium tabs and easily-updated A4 paper sheets, and a kind of pegboard for informal notes. 

Looks good now and suits the building, should wear well and be adaptable as the school and its users change.
