Stradal @RDW2021

Local Design Circle Association invites the audience of Romanian Design Week 2021 to start a conversation about public space through Stradal, their new graphic design project.   

Stradal

The project’s goal is to start an interdisciplinary dialogue between designers, architects, urban planners, anthropologists and public authorities about the city and also making citizens part of the conversation by giving them reasons to question their relationship with the public spaces they walk through every day. 

Stradal

In addition to the participatory component, Stradal aims to shed more light on the importance of graphic design when public space is (re)organised, to go beyond the decorative nature associated with the practice.

Stradal

The exhibition is a walk through an ideal modern city, with everything from information and orientation signs to advertisements for services such as guitar lessons or tapestry repairs. It is an experiment that emphasizes both the relationship between the functional and the aesthetic in contemporary design and the role of graphic design in public space (to develop a simplified, intuitive and inclusive communication system).

This initiative is not meant to impose a style or a point of view, but to investigate to what extent aspects such as coherence or unity can (still) be applied in the Romanian public space. What would be the benefits of such a project, what kind of problems does it raise and how can it be included in public policies?
