Great Integration Between Architecture and Graphic Design

sixtoe

I'm working on a project and trying to come up with a list of examples of great inegration between architecture and graphic design. Preferably cases where they were developed in tandem, not one following the other. The Apple Store and basically anything Disney has built come to mind immediately. Any suggestions?

Yep, The Marion Cultural Centre is a great example and, Diatribe, one of ARM's projects that I really like - well crafted and solid ;)

MVRDVs Dutch Pavilion at Hanover comes to mind. Perhaps not entirely what you are after though...

Also I would suggest Jewish Museum in Berlin by Libeskind - the form generated primarily through graphic drawings that were then applied to the facade.

And...to go out on a limb a little - the integration of art/design and architecture is wonderfully realised at Ronchamp.

Everything by Klein Dytham fits the bill.

a ton of early avant-garde stuff -- el Lissitzky, Rietveld, van Doesburg, Bauhaus (especially the advertising pavilions by Bayer), etc

Prada, OMA with 2x4

This project by Rios won an AIA award in 2003 - in large part because of the integration of architecture and graphics. Not sure if they were developed together.

I heard an interesting presentation about Corb and Surrealism and Photography last week. One cool project shown was a wall of photographs that he develeoped - I think for the PAVILLON SUISSE (can anybody confirm this?) - and it was interesting because it's very much along the lines of a lot of the 2x4 stuff today.

Thanks for all the tips, everyone. A lot of good jumping-off points here.
