This signage narrates the movement, from dawn to dusk, in the living spaces of the residence. Exchanges between students are encouraged by different means of variable scale. The signage also includes a typeface made of semi-sloping letters which replace arrows to suggest directions. Administration staff and students are encouraged to use this language as an internal communication tool on campus.
