ZAL Car park, Hamburg

In the new car park of the ZAL (Center of Applied Aeronautical Research) users will also always land on the right atmospheric level. The loose reinterpretation of typical runway signs not only lends identity to the parking levels and stairways, it also delivers a clear shift in perspective via a large wall graphic on the façade. The design approach developed for the central building of the research center is thereby continued and complemented by new visual elements.

You can find the time-lapse of the façade lettering making-of here. More movies of the ZAL signage on our YouTube channel.

Great! Our wayfinding has been awarded at the DNA Paris Design Awards 2023 in the category ‘Graphic Design - Communication Design’ as a winner and won GOLD at the Indigo Design award 2023.
