Studio Practice / Amber Plaza / Ceiling navigation





Citywide Forum "Career Start" opened to help graduates from Russian Schools choose right direction in the beginning of their adult life. Forum aimed to let students feel what is it like working in the selected area and to let students participate in master-classes.


25 different companies participated in Forum
about 2500-3000 students took a part


Our studio was asked to organize the whole exhibition. After finilising the design for event (Small competition between all members of studio. Alan Khadikov won this part), we were divided into several groups.

I will concentrate on the ceiling navigation.
Team members: Alina Nezhivets
                          Annet Akopyan
                            Inna Vostrikova



Ideas for navigation:

Ribbons that follow the shape of floor film, that split the floor into different zones.

Simmilar idea, but here ribbons follow the angle shape of the floor film.

We decided to experiment with the shape that we have on the logo of Forum.


We used the shape of triangle like an arrows. On these triangles we planned to place names of the companies, above which it will be placed. 



 Triangles should be place on particular hight, according to the color of the film under it. Each color have specific hight, that people can easily orientate in the space.



Also was planned to use this colorfull composition as an overall idea near the reception desk.
In the final design all the triangles were made from foamboard, text was printed on top of it.


 Triangles should be placed by an angle to the main path, as you can see on the plan.


Draft plan of navigation in section and on plan.


 After finilising the colors of the floor film and place of companies, builders received this plan.
