Interpretive Signage
Challenge
Continuing our work with the New Norcia Benedictine Community we were tasked with developing a new interpretive trail for their popular River Walk. The previous trail signage had fallen into disrepair since its original creation in the 1980’s.
Response
These signs continue our material theme of other signage used throughout the town and use Cor-ten steel. Our colour palette is taken from the landscape and each sign appears to be ‘extruded’ from the earth. They stand proud, yet blend harmoniously in the place they interpret. The steel will rust and take on the personality and patina of its environment, further reinforcing the signs connection to the site.
Result
The signage is consistently commended by visitors to the town. The materials are gracefully ageing and have indeed taken on, and become one, with the place in which they help interpret.
