SEGD20 With this annual awards publication, SEGD recognizes those in the experiential graphic design community who—through their commitment to human-centered effective design in the built environment—help define and promote best practices and ethical standards for the profession. The SEGD Achievement Awards honor the individuals, companies and institutions whose work has significantly advanced the field of experiential graphic design. The SEGD Global Design Awards celebrate the best in experiential graphic design, spanning a wide range of topics, disciplines, and verticals; what all of the projects share is their effective use of design to connect people to place.



This year we celebrated our 2020 awardees’ work, which exemplifies SEGD’s mission to “Educate, Connect and Inspire,” during the largest virtual gathering of our international community of professionals. This SEGD20 publication showcases the SEGD Global Design and Achievement Awards as a form of inspiration and documentation, celebrating the creativity, insight and relevance represented by our multidisciplinary community. The 2020 SEGD Achievement Award winners include laureates and innovators in the field, champions of meaningful design, and long-standing partners who have contributed significantly to our organization’s success. This year’s Global Design Award-winners span a range of disciplines and verticals, from highlighting the role of design in addressing injustice and unconscious biases to natureinspired park placemaking totems. The award-winning designers represent diverse parts of the globe, but a common thread for many was the commitment to using design for the betterment of society. Given the unprecedented events of 2020, we thank all of our partners and members for their participation and commitment to ensure SEGD's mission continues.

Edwin Schlossberg 2020 SEGD Fellow

In place of the SEGD’s annual conference and awards celebration planned for early June, the association hosted a virtual version of the SEGD Achievement Awards ceremony on June 24, 2020. During the online event, 2020 SEGD Fellow Edwin Schlossberg, Principal at ESI Design, an NBBJ studio, took his place in the pantheon of SEGD Fellows. An internationally recognized pioneer in audience engagement, Schlossberg launched his design career in 1977 with the Brooklyn Children’s Museum, one of the world’s first interactive museums. Under his leadership, ESI Design (New York) has created groundbreaking corporate and retail spaces, sales and innovation centers, museums, digital media installations and multi-player games. Schlossberg holds a Ph.D. in Science and Literature from Columbia University and is an accomplished fine artist, educator and author. In 2004, Schlossberg won the National Arts Club Medal of Honor. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation and in 2011 was appointed by President Barack Obama to serve a four-year term on the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts. Even over a sobering medium like Zoom, Schlossberg presents as an icon clothed in a basic white turtleneck, a man whose exceptional intellect is patient, and who emits an aura of refined cool. He and his work are beloved by his employees, designers, artists and at least one former U.S. President. When you speak with him, it’s apparent that Schlossberg is deeply concerned with the human experience on all levels, but never at the cost of his sense of wonder or hope. He has the occasional uninspired moment like the rest of us, “Some days you don't have anything to talk about, and sometimes you do, and it's the way it is.” Thankfully, he’s still making things happen and slowing down is not part of future plans for himself. “I'm excited and very honored to be part of it.” Schlossberg spoke simply and sincerely of the community of experiential graphic design professionals. “Looking back, it all seems like it was meant to be, but it has never felt that way. It’s always been, ‘Really? Are we going to do this? This is amazing.’” We are, and it is.

How did you get started in design and how did your upbringing or your background support or indirectly set you on your professional path? I was born in 1945. My mother was a bookkeeper and my father eventually owned his own textile firm where he designed the fabrics. When I was young, my grandmother used to take my hands and say, these are the hands of a surgeon; the idea of the importance of education and making things happen was always present for me. I found the contrasting experience of attending both private and public schools beneficial, as I did the experience of going to summer camp—a place called Robinson Crusoe—in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. The whole idea of the camp was collaborative composition. It was a group of kids making, doing and building things together. And I loved it. People like Pete Seeger and other relatively famous singers came once a week for a campfire. I was hearing lefty songs and ‘We Shall Overcome’ when I was nine years old. So, the idea of making things always was making things with people. After I was too old to go as a camper, I was a counselor in training. The last summer I was at the camp, I befriended a counselor named Suzi Gablik, a painter, collagist and an amazing person. When I arrived back in New York at Columbia [University], Suzi invited me over to her house. At dinner were her two best friends: Bob Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns. In that moment, this idea of living as an artist— seeing that someone could actually spend their day thinking and making things—dramatically affected me. I went to the after party and [Buckminster Fuller] was there. As we sat around talking for hours, something clicked in my head: I could combine the things I was interested in and thinking about regarding global issues, interdisciplinary work and Robinson Crusoe. About that, how did ESI Design begin? After [Ph.D.] graduation, a friend of mine asked me to help organize an education event in Washington D.C., where I met Lloyd Hezekiah, the director of the Brooklyn Children's Museum, who invited me in; I became the exhibit designer for the new museum. That allowed me to explore the whole of creating places in which the experience of collaborative work could happen. Getting to do the Brooklyn Children's Museum was an incredible gift. It took seven years, a lot of research and a variety of experts to create a completely interactive museum where there were no exhibits, only experiences. I did a lot of other things in the meantime: making, writing books and a variety of things. So then I had to start a company because my father told me that I might get sued, and I needed to protect myself.

What advice do you give students or young designers? Learn. Become as expert as you possibly can at two or three things. Make sure that you know how to work in a team and know how to describe what you're good at to other people. Figure out what member of a team you want to be and what you want that team to be doing. You have no degree in design or visual art, which is unusual. How has the intersection of science and literature informed or benefited you in your career in art and design? For me, learning about how people think and feel is a critical piece of the ability to communicate. The ability to create a non-physical picture of something is really important; that was the literature piece. But, at the same time, if you don't understand and describe how the world works physically, it's very hard to advance what you want someone to learn. What are your fixations as an artist? My obsession is with things that produce dynamic feelings and experiences. My effort always is to make something that is never still. Something that is living is always moving. I've been trying to make art and make objects that seem to move continuously, both in your cognitive mind and also in the sensory parts of your mind. 15 years ago, you said ‘‘The greatest future includes most of us becoming more fully human at no one’s burden. Seeing others as the joy of life, not its threat of loss, is the greatest future.’’ How does the next generation of experiential designers build the future? It’s always the young adults of a culture that set the tone for the next generation. Things can change quickly when young people refuse to put up with something. For me, collaborative insight becomes a requisite quality of design for where we collectively are right now, which is nearly eight billion people and struggling to abandon destructive social hierarchies based on the color of one’s skin or the place of one’s birth, for example. We need to think about how well we can work with other people as our basic measure of humanity, rather than individual performance. Martin Luther King Jr. described this as society judging by the content of a person’s character. That's the job right now; we need to rid the world of these hierarchies. Designers have to be creating experiences which demonstrate the individual and collective burdens of hate and support an enlightened alternative. This is an opportunity. It's an opportunity for things to get worse or start getting better.

And I think it will get better. I don't think the opposite is possible.

Anthony Ferrara, Owner/Creative Director, Design Ferrara SEGD Distinguished Member Award

The SEGD Distinguished Member Award recognizes an individual for demonstrating outstanding volunteer efforts while significantly contributing to the direction, growth and excellence of SEGD programs. Recipients of the award have been instrumental in cultivating university programs, advancing accessible and green design and promoting cultural agendas through design. Past winners include Don Kiel, Amy Lukas, Kelly Kolar, Alexandra Wood and Wayne Hunt.

Award-winning experiential graphic designer Anthony Ferrara has been an invaluable contributor to SEGD, and his dedication to serving as a New York Chapter Chair has enriched the local community as well. Ferrara has over 30 years of experience across identity, wayfinding, exhibition and environmental graphic design. Before starting his own business, Ferrara worked at prestigious New York firms including Two Twelve, Chermayeff & Geismar and Whitehouse & Company. His work has appeared in many publications, including “The Wayfinding Handbook: Information Design for Public Spaces.” When did you know a career in design was for you? At an early age, I was drawn to a number of identities: the logo and typeface on my father’s 1965 Chevrolet Impala, the logo and package design of the Lucky Strike cigarettes my grandmother smoked and the yellow oval with the simple black bat graphic of the Batman logo. I drew NFL and MLB team logos on helmets and sold them for 25¢ a piece. But my

first design venture came to an end when I was called to the principal’s office because of complaints about me taking people’s lunch money.

Citifield was one of the first new major league stadium projects in the New York area since the 1970s. We worked directly with the Jackie Robinson Foundation in the creation of the Jackie Robinson Rotunda. It was incredibly inspiring to collaborate with people who were personally invested and passionate in this project, to not only honor a baseball icon, but an American hero.

What are a few projects that have shaped your career or practice? Over the years, I have been fortunate to work with a number of great designers and firms and every one of them has greatly influenced me and my work. Oceanário de Lisboa was one of the first projects that provided me the opportunity to work on all design aspects for a single project—from the exterior building mural wall to the exterior/interior signage and the exhibit graphics. Radio City Music Hall afforded me an opportunity to work on a historic renovation project and the creation of a sign system. Through this experience, I gained an appreciation for preserving existing structures and incorporating various materials.

What role does participation in or volunteering with SEGD play in your practice? Through my involvement with SEGD, I have build some great relationships with other people and designers I've met locally, nationally and globally. Some of these relationships have led to rewarding collaborations.

Such a powerful yet simple use of form, material and type to communicate a strong message.” “The care, intention, material, typography and form of each aspect of the experience deliver a powerful and necessary focus and allow us to see and understand the contemporary impacts that continue to surround us.”

Opposite Page The National Memorial for Peace and Justice: Environmental Graphic Design Program, Photo credit: Small Stuff

“A powerful statement that resonates not only in Montgomery, Alabama, but on a national scale. It conveys so much meaning with the use of very simple materials and text. The pacing and execution is outstanding.”

The overall context and purpose of the project is best described by the Equal Justice Initiative: “The National Memorial for Peace and Justice, which opened to the public on April 26, 2018, is the nation’s first memorial dedicated to the legacy of enslaved black people, people terrorized by lynching, African Americans humiliated by racial segregation and Jim Crow, and people of color burdened with contemporary presumptions of guilt and police violence.’’ Work on the memorial began in 2010 when EJI staff began investigating thousands of racial terror lynchings in the American South, many of which had never been documented. EJI was interested in understanding the terror and trauma created by this sanctioned violence against the black community. Set on a six-acre site, the memorial uses sculpture, art, and design to contextualize racial terror. The memorial structure on the center of the site is constructed of over 800 Corten steel monuments, one for each county in the United States where a racial terror lynching took place. The names of the lynching victims are listed on the columns. The memorial is more than a static monument. It is EJI’s hope that the National Memorial inspires communities across the nation to enter an era of truth-telling about racial injustice and their own local histories. The Memorial for Peace and Justice was conceived with the hope of creating a sober meaningful site where people can gather and reflect on America’s history of racial inequality. EJI partnered with artists like Kwame Akoto-Bamfo whose sculpture on slavery confronts visitors when they first enter the memorial. In the center of the site, visitors encounter a memorial square, built in collaboration with MASS Design Group. The memorial experience continues through the civil rights era made visible with a sculpture by Dana King dedicated to the women who sustained the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Finally, the memorial journey ends with contemporary issues of police violence and racially biased criminal justice expressed in a final work created by Hank Willis Thomas. The memorial displays writing from Toni Morrison and Elizabeth Alexander, words from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and a reflection space in honor of Ida B. Wells. EJI will also collaborate to place a monument—identical to the monument found at the National Memorial—in the community where each lynching took place. EJI believes that markers and monuments can help transform our national landscape into a more honest reflection of the history of America and reflect a community’s ongoing commitment to truth-telling and racial justice. The success of this project might not simply be quantified or measured in traditional ways. Visiting the memorial is a deeply personal experience. It provides a space and means for truth-telling, hope, healing and reconciliation. As EJI stated in a press release, “the national memorial will serve as a report on which parts of the country have confronted the truth of this terror and which have not.”

Design Team Local Projects Collaborators Juliana Sohn, Karsten Moran/The New York Times (photography); Jason Banker, Ben Millstein, Matthew Le (videography); The New Motor (specialty fabricator) Project Date June 2019 Project Area 10,000 sq ft Juror Comments “A successful marketing campaign that sheds light on important topics while activating storefronts and neighborhoods. Relevant and powerful in many different ways.” “Storefronts become storyfronts in this powerful transformation of the local streetscape. Passersby are drawn into the world of another, a world that is their world. Through this moment of sharing and expanding understanding, citizens may understand how the story of another relates to or touches them, anonymously working to build community.” “Loved the way The New York Times used local city spaces as learning moments to bring light to local stories. The storefront approach was truly refreshing as a way to lift the work off the screen and off the newspaper into a different medium. Beautiful.”

As the local journalism crisis deepens, with thousands of local news outlets shuttering across the country, The New York Times has renewed its focus on covering their own home base. The Times has a rich tradition of reporting in New York, but because of the publication’s political and international coverage, many New Yorkers don’t think of it as a local news source. The New York Times posed this question to the Local Projects team: “How we can we give New Yorkers a way to more tangibly experience our journalism beyond simply reading it?” Together, client and design teams developed a journalistic experience that embodied The Times’ reporting in each of New York’s five boroughs. Leveraging creativity to build awareness in otherwise vacant storefronts, the Local Projects team highlighted the importance of deep investigative journalism in an era of fast news and social media. “The Truth Is Local” created five perspective-shifting storefront installations that brought important reporting from each borough to life: wrongful murder convictions in Brooklyn, educational inequality in the Bronx, reckless taxi lending schemes in Manhattan, the life of an overlooked woman in Queens and forgotten history in Staten Island. Each storefront explained the significance of the reporting and featured a audio narrative with the journalists. The design team employed a number of visual and technical devices to grab attention, including theatrical design, illusions, presence sensors and unusual perspectives. Ultimately, the technique was in service of the story and— true to The New York Times—was tirelessly rigorous to ensure each story’s narrative and importance was captured. The five installations appeared in otherwise empty storefronts during the last two weeks of June 2019. The Bronx storefront used a forced perspective recreation of a classroom to put viewers in the shoes of Bronx students who have unequal access to educational resources. A storefront prison block set in Brooklyn highlighted one reporter’s work that led to the release of several wrongfully imprisoned inmates and the review of over 50 more cases. In a campaign highlighting the value of local journalism, it was important to quickly and visually quantify the importance of original investigative reporting. But the installations did more than that, fostering real conversation and introspection between complete strangers in the neighborhoods where these stories actually happened. The campaign drove more than 1.1. billion earned social impressions, and saw significant lifts in brand perception, an increase in understanding what it takes for The Times to produce journalism, and agreement that The Times is a news source that creates change. Lastly, the campaign produced a strong rise in purchase intent, outperforming their national campaign.

Now, more than ever, stakeholders are expecting lasting context and relevance, not just a passing novelty. We know effective experiential delivery is only achievable through real-world multidisciplinary experiences. Our applied technology choices derive from our vast experience across various sectors and project environments. Peregrine provides a bridge between real-world human experience, creative design intent, relevant context in content, practical value-based engineering, and successful ongoing operations for owner/operators.
