Our team was tasked with developing a comprehensive signage system for the 28-acre Shreyas Foundation campus in central Ahmedabad. The lush green campus is rich in biodiversity and hosts schools, playgrounds, a children’s park, sporting facilities, and several museums, each of which is housed in architecturally significant buildings.
The system needed to be bilingual, clear, accessible, and child-friendly, considering that children constitute the primary user group on campus. We devised a colour scheme assigning a unique colour to each campus zone, including the school, cultural spaces, arts venues, play areas, or living quarters. These vibrant hues now serve as visual cues for visitors, facilitating intuitive navigation. Furthermore, each colour is accompanied by a simple yet impactful icon, aiding quick identification. Employing curves, soft design elements, and vibrant colours in the signage ensured resonance with the campus’s primary users, i.e. children.
Along with the wayfinding and signages we were also tasked with rejuvenating an old children's play area in the campus. We worked with Vishnu Vasudevan, an artist to paint the play area with colourful illustrations of animals.
