Heritage: A User’s Manual
Heritage: A User’s Manual was an exhibition at Southbank Centre’s Archive Studio — a temporary space located within the foyer of the Royal Festival Hall — that took place between the 24th November and 13th December 2016. The exhibition was curated by MA Culture, Criticism and Curation students from London art school Central Saint Martins and “was founded on the belief that the heritage of a building is characterised by the ever-changing contributions of its community.”
The London office of international graphic design studio Bond developed a visual identity for the exhibition that would create a unifying visual story for the different eras it covered. Drawing on the archival material and architectural components that were the basis of the exhibition, Bond created an typographical visual identity, based around MuirMcNeil’s Cut, that is utilitarian, structural and of two different historical periods in its stencil cut qualities and lettershapes. This, alongside bright colour, warm greys and material quality, links programme, information packs and single sheets.
