Wayfinding elements in Emigration Museum in Gdynia
The history of departures from the Polish lands is hundreds of years old. From the initiative of the Gdynia city’s authorities, the historical edifice of the Marine Station became the first Museum in Poland that touches this subject.
The headquarters of the Emigration Museum in Gdynia is located right by the sea in the historical building of the Marine Station, which was erected during the interwar period. The present-day shape of this historical building is the result of
a thorough adaptation of this treasure of modernist architecture to its new role.
Our task, as a designers of the wayfinding elements, was to emphasize & complement the beauty of the modernist building – to make the final product look like an inseparable element of the existing space. These assumptions have leaded us to use materials (wood, steel, etc.) & design that were characteristic in the 20’s & 30’s. We decided to make the carriers playful and pleasent to look at (that’s why we have chosen modularity) As a result we developed both product (3D carrier design, construction) and graphic look of the presented elements.
They are unique and one of its kind!
离开波兰土地的历史已有数百年的历史。 在格丁尼亚市当局的倡议下，海洋站的历史建筑成为波兰第一个涉及这一主题的博物馆。
格丁尼亚移民博物馆的总部位于海边，坐落在两次世界大战期间建造的海洋站历史建筑内。 这座历史建筑的现代形状是
彻底改造现代主义建筑的这一宝藏以适应其新角色。
作为导视元素的设计师，我们的任务是强调和补充现代主义建筑的美感——使最终产品看起来像是现有空间不可分割的元素。 这些假设使我们使用了 20 年代和 30 年代特有的材料（木材、钢材等）和设计。 我们决定让载体看起来有趣且令人愉悦（这就是我们选择模块化的原因）因此，我们开发了产品（3D 载体设计、构造）和所呈现元素的图形外观。
它们是独一无二的，独一无二的！
