With the generation embracing free expressions and the 60s American urban culture\/art, the application of graphic elements and International Typographic Style to architecture became a hugely popular art concept. In relation to architecture, supergraphics generally consist the use of bold geometric shapes, san serif typefaces, bright colours and scale changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In particular, I really like the examples of designer, Paula Scher as her supergraphic applications to buildings&#8217; interior often give us a feel of both flatness and depth depending on what angle we see it in. It is almost like her team has completely disregarded the three-dimensionality and apply the type as if the interior was a two-dimensional space. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"762\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/joycechan4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7908\/2019\/02\/Screen-Shot-2019-02-28-at-12.43.21-PM-762x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-784\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/joycechan4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7908\/2019\/02\/Screen-Shot-2019-02-28-at-12.43.21-PM-762x1024.png 762w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/joycechan4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7908\/2019\/02\/Screen-Shot-2019-02-28-at-12.43.21-PM-223x300.png 223w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/joycechan4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7908\/2019\/02\/Screen-Shot-2019-02-28-at-12.43.21-PM-768x1032.png 768w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/joycechan4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7908\/2019\/02\/Screen-Shot-2019-02-28-at-12.43.21-PM-600x806.png 600w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/joycechan4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7908\/2019\/02\/Screen-Shot-2019-02-28-at-12.43.21-PM.png 926w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 762px) 100vw, 762px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"697\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/joycechan4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7908\/2019\/02\/Screen-Shot-2019-02-28-at-12.43.31-PM-697x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/joycechan4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7908\/2019\/02\/Screen-Shot-2019-02-28-at-12.43.31-PM-697x1024.png 697w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/joycechan4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7908\/2019\/02\/Screen-Shot-2019-02-28-at-12.43.31-PM-204x300.png 204w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/joycechan4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7908\/2019\/02\/Screen-Shot-2019-02-28-at-12.43.31-PM-768x1128.png 768w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/joycechan4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7908\/2019\/02\/Screen-Shot-2019-02-28-at-12.43.31-PM-600x881.png 600w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/joycechan4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7908\/2019\/02\/Screen-Shot-2019-02-28-at-12.43.31-PM.png 874w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> Other than architecture, type can also be integrated as a linear pattern on the ground for street art and guide. A real life application is the street of Lisbon Bikeway in Portugal we can see today. Not only is supergraphic used for decoration, it also has a practical purpose of indicating bike lanes, speed limits and other information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.fastcompany.net\/image\/upload\/w_596,c_limit,q_auto:best,f_auto\/wp-cms\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/02\/12-b-a-guide-to-the-worlds-coolest-supergraphics.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-90162373\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>References:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/90162145\/a-tour-of-the-worlds-coolest-supergraphics\">https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/90162145\/a-tour-of-the-worlds-coolest-supergraphics<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.historygraphicdesign.com\/the-age-of-information\/postmodern-design\/871-supermannerism\">http:\/\/www.historygraphicdesign.com\/the-age-of-information\/postmodern-design\/871-supermannerism<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The origin of Supergraphics can be traced to its introduction along with Supermannerism back in the 1960s.
