Visit to Bank House

Bank House - Exhibition Venue //

The chosen venue for the licence to print money show is an office in Bank House. The building is situated in the heart of the financial district of Leeds. 

The building used to be the offices to the Bank of England.

When brainstorming ideas, we wanted to take into consideration the location of the show as much as possible and make this visible within our designs and concepts.

I tried to take pictures of the building from as many angles as I could so that I could get a good idea of the architecture and so that I could share them with the group. The architectural style is very much brutalist and includes a number of corners, edges and geometric shapes and patterns.

From this, I have decided that a good way to use the buildings appearance in the concept for the show would be to produced geometric shapes and patterns that replicate those found on the exterior of the building and use them in the designs for things like the posters, way-finding and other collateral.
