Client: Busan Metropolitan City

Area: Signage · Events
Type of work: Trade show stands · Illuminated signs
Location: Spain

Fabrication and installation of the Busan Metropolitan City institutional pavilion for an architecture event. The scheme includes a backlit light box carrying the institutional sign, large-format graphic panels and an integrated screen. The images correspond to the build phase at the venue, carried out by Unical Graphic's own crew after the pre-assembly and checking of the parts in the workshop.

The challenge

An institutional pavilion from another country arrives with a closed graphic project and no room for interpretation, yet it has to be built here and raised in the time window set by the venue. Joinery, graphics, backlighting and screen all had to be coordinated so that everything fitted first time during the build.

Our solution

The pavilion was built on a modular aluminium structure with lacquered rigid panels, set out and numbered in the workshop to the project received. The backlit light box was built with an aluminium frame, tensioned textile and LED diffusers spread out to give even light across the whole face of the sign. The large-format graphic panels were printed and laminated before transport, with the joints planned into the set-out so the image would close without visible breaks. The screen aperture was machined in the workshop, with concealed cable routing. The pre-assembly reduced the work at the venue to straightforward assembly.
