Escola Parque is a Municipal Children 's School in the city of São Caetano do Sul, Sao Paulo. Alongside architect Carolina Penna, we created the signage of a place that balances pedagogy and design to give rise to a democratic and collective public space, which is always opened to countless learning possibilities.

Info
Escola Parque's architecture project, created by Carolina Penna, has some outstanding points: a central arena covered by a large wooden disc that hovers over the learning spaces, a good amount of light, interaction with the surroundings and lots of nature. Inspired by the amazing space designed for the kindergarten school, we created visuals that seek to stimulate children's communication skills through modular shapes and colors.
In this playful and open environment, we shaped the space with the four cardinal points in a large compass rose engraved on the floor. We brought the four seasons of the year to each side of that compass with four colors to accompany them: green, red, yellow and blue. Modular typography, created from basic shapes, serves as the basis for the icons and designs used on boards and murals. A simple way to signal spaces and create interactions with children, parents and educators who daily pass through the building.
