JAPAN UN LAYERED EXHIBIT | FAIRMONT PACIFIC RIM

Fairmont Pacific Rim recently hosted the “Japan Unlayered” exhibition celebrating contemporary Japanese architecture, design and culture, and Multigraphics played a big part in producing all of the displays.

Japan Unlayered was curated by master Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, his firm Kengo Kuma & Associates (KKAA) and the developers-owners of Fairmont Pacific Rim, Westbank and Peterson. The exhibition explored the in-depth collaboration between KKAA and Westbank, to present Japanese craftsmanship alongside contemporary design to illustrate that the defining principles of Japanese design remain the same despite the evolution of technology.

The complimentary exhibition, displayed over two levels of Fairmont Pacific Rim, pays tribute to the Japanese philosophy of layering, where overlapping elements define an overall experience, and which Kuma-san’s work embodies. A retrospective look at the architecture of Kengo Kuma, from its small beginnings to its current large-scale works, is among the displays and the exhibition will extend beyond his work to include Japanese design from a wide range of fields and brands.

V&A Museum of Childhood reveals exhibition on board games

Thomas.Matthews has designed the exhibition, which explores the social, physical and historical relevance of board games.

Thomas.Matthews has designed the V&A Museum of Childhood’s autumn exhibition, looking at board games and their social, physical and historical perspectives, including how they can be considered works of art and design, or tools for education.

Game Plan: Board Games Rediscovered, features exhibits ranging from the strategy and structure of gameplay, to historic items such as Game of Goose.

Inspired by the several racing games featured within the exhibition, Thomas.Matthews opted to base the design around a giant game board which visitors can “play” as they move through the space, giving a sense of chronology to the exhibition.

Visual language references classic board games

The visual language incorporated into the exhibition also nods to traditional board game designs, using bold colours, simple geometric shapes, oversized numerical markers and colourful cube-shaped grids, which act as plinths for game artefacts and break up the rest of the space.

Creative director at Thomas.Matthews, Leah Harrison, says: ““This project has been a wonderful combination of fun and hard work and I think it really shows.”

“Ensuring that the design for the exhibition communicates a sense of play and fun while showing artefacts at their best was paramount for us.”

Flexible exhibition components

As the exhibition will also tour to another four venues, another key design consideration was for the exhibition components to be easy to take down and put back up again.

The design team again took inspiration from board games – which are typically easy to put away and transport – using lightweight, large format canvas frames.

Thomas.Matthews also worked with production houses LTD and Qwerk to ensure as little waste as possible, for instance by using the waste from cutting the frames of the canvas panels to create the text panels seen throughout the exhibition.

Game Plan: Board Games Rediscovered runs at the V&A Museum of Childhood until 23 April 2017. Entry to the exhibition is free. For more information, head here.

For their latest sales centre WESTBANK came to Multigraphics with a special request that had never been done before. They needed a two-sided lightbox with a very slim profile. It was an interesting challenge but after some research and experimentation we were able to produce exactly what they were looking for and with only a 1.5” profile. You can see all 24 of them for yourself at the Horseshoe Bay Development sales centre located at 15^th & Marine in West Vancouver.

Hotel Georgia gets a full wrap during the 2010 Winter Olympics!

January 31, 2017January 26, 2014 by mgadmin

Vancouver’s iconic Hotel Georgia was wrapped in the largest Canadian flag ever made, in preparation for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Just how big is it? The vinyl building wrap is 32 meters high and 64 meters long — larger than an Olympic hockey rink — and it adorned two sides of the hotel while under restoration and renovation. This is how the intersection of Georgia and Howe streets was transformed at the time.
