Primary Residence Type Design

Primary Residence Type Design is an innovative typographic system that masterfully integrates architectural elements into letterform design, exemplifying the intersection of typography and architectural aesthetics. This sophisticated alphabet design, created by Tianzhen Evleen Huang, draws profound inspiration from the Bauhaus movement and incorporates abstract architectural forms using the fundamental primary colors of red, blue, and yellow. The design's distinctive approach transforms each letter and numeral into a representation of architectural fragments, featuring elements such as stairs, windows, and geometric shapes that pay homage to Bauhaus architectural principles and minimalist design philosophy. The typography's unique characteristic lies in its ability to present building components without obvious entry or exit points, encouraging viewers to engage their imagination in discovering potential pathways and connections between characters. This innovative approach to type design, which began development in March 2020 in New Jersey, demonstrates meticulous attention to architectural photography research and real-world structural elements, including influences from New York City fire escapes and European urban windows. The project successfully overcomes the challenge of maintaining consistency while incorporating diverse architectural elements into letterforms, resulting in a cohesive and abstract visual language. The design's excellence has been recognized with a Gold A' Design Award in the Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design category, acknowledging its significant contribution to innovative typography and visual communication. This achievement highlights the design's success in meeting crucial criteria including innovative concept development, visual impact, and effective communication while maintaining technical excellence and aesthetic appeal.
