Barbican Renewal Project - Wayfinding Designer

Description

The Barbican Centre is at a key moment in its history, with a new Vision, Strategic Plan and set of Values, underpinning a major programme of work to renew the Grade II listed building, and a full refresh of the brand, covering brand architecture, tone of voice and visual identity. Our ambition is for a consistent, inclusive and high-quality wayfinding and signage strategy and design within the Barbican Centre site boundary, and a suite of assets for use in the surrounding public realm. This new wayfinding approach will connect with wider wayfinding projects to create intuitive and accessible visitor journeys from major transport hubs into the Barbican Centre site, alongside improving signage and navigation across all of the Barbican Centre’s internal and external spaces. The new wayfinding strategy will reflect and espouse the Barbican Centre’s brand, which will be refreshed to create a bold and clear visual identity that flexes across a variety of uses and platforms. The duration of the contract is 5 years, subject to the right of the City (at its sole discretion) to exercise its right to extend the Contract by up to 1 year. The maximum length of the contract is therefore 6 years.
