Remember the limitations of large format printing from your architecture school days? Pixelated graphics, limited color options, and the headache of matching existing colors? Well, hold onto your drafting pencils, because the world of printed graphics in the built environment has undergone a dramatic transformation.
This AIA-approved course, The Benefits of Graphics in the Built Environment, aims to equip you with the latest knowledge and tools to unleash the full potential of graphics in your projects. Whether you’re a seasoned architect or a budding interior designer, this intensive workshop will give you a fresh perspective on how printed graphics can enhance functionality, elevate aesthetics, and boost branding.
Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll learn:
Gone are the days of blurry prints and color mismatches. Today’s large format printing technology delivers vibrant, photorealistic graphics with unprecedented color accuracy. We’ll dive into the latest printing methods like latex and UV curable inks, ensuring you can specify graphics with confidence, knowing they’ll match your vision perfectly.
Forget generic patterns and monotonous walls. This workshop will open your eyes to the world of custom-printed wallcoverings. Imagine short-run printing allowing you to personalize each space with unique designs, even for temporary installations. We’ll explore various materials like paste-on, adhesive-backed, and even textured options for different environments, both indoors and outdoors.
Modern commercial spaces increasingly feature expansive windows. But this presents an opportunity, not a challenge. Our course will showcase the diverse glass graphics options available, transforming windows into functional elements. We’ll cover safety and privacy solutions, explore distraction banding, delve into tinting and frosting techniques, and show you how to incorporate logos and custom branding seamlessly.
Push the boundaries of design with wall dimensional lettering and graphics. We’ll showcase a variety of options, from printed acrylic graphics and PVC picture panels to cutting-edge Silicon Edge Graphics (SEG) – dye-sublimated fabric graphics that add a touch of texture and depth. You’ll learn how these techniques can be used for wayfinding, branding elements, and even creating unique art installations.
This workshop goes beyond aesthetics. We’ll explore how printed graphics can help building owners and commercial renters adapt their spaces as needs change. Whether it’s updating branding for a new tenant or creating temporary partitions for flexible workspaces, printed graphics offer a cost-effective and versatile solution.
