Graphic Heritage and the Making of Place
This article centers on three retail sites within Walthamstow, East London in the UK – Walthamstow High Street and Hoe Street; Orford Road within Walthamstow Village; and the western end of the High St in the St James area. Each of these sites utilize everyday urban “graphic heritage” – shop front design, colors, typefaces and symbols – in the making of place. However, the graphic heritage contributes to the development of very different “designs…
Learning from the participatory practices of urban observatories to co-create a new town observatory in Loughborough, UK
The concept of urban observatories was adopted by UN-Habitat in the early 2000s with the aim of promoting urban information, supporting decision-making and facilitating dialogue between stakeholders. As urban information may seem distant and inaccessible to a range of stakeholders, this paper investigates the potential of urban observatories in promoting collaboration and citizen engagement. This paper reviews 20 existing urban observatories in t…
Aboriginal cultural uses of public signage
This article explains how Aboriginal communities assert their independence and sovereignty through public signs using text and maps, i.e. design tools of non-indigenous people. Our focus is on the multiple layers of meaning conveyed in those signs from the novel, combined perspectives of anthropology and graphic design. Based on previous empirical work, the aim is to formulate exploratory hypotheses for future shared investigations into the coher…
Utilising Graphic Heritage for Heritage Interpretation
This paper reports on a project that explored the possibilities for utilizing graphic heritage as a tool to help UNESCO designations managers and their stakeholders better interpret their heritage in light of sustainable development challenges in urban environments sensitive to heritage. With the eventual goal to inform policy-making that benefits from a closer understanding between design and heritage, five phases are outlined. These employ seve…
Graphic heritage calling
As a 'spectacular' sporting heritage space Wembley Stadium and its setting have been recently celebrated after a centenary of sport and entertainment since its inauguration in 1923. This paper examines the recent redevelopment and design of Wembley Stadium in Wembley Park to depict how the heritage credentials of the area and the intangible nature of sport as performance are mediated through multiple graphic images and permanent, semi-permanent, …
Urban graphic heritage and the making of place
Having played at Highbury Stadium since 1913, Arsenal Football Club (Arsenal) moved a mere 500 metres to their new Emirates Stadium in 2006. In conforming to a contemporary 'concrete bowl' design, the new stadium lacked architectural distinctiveness. It also lacked the deeply emotional memories made over the years that meant Highbury was seen as 'hallowed turf'. To embed a sense of history and heritage into the new stadium, Arsenal embarked on a …
Memorialising Madiba in South Africa
Hundreds of public places across the world are named in honour of Nelson Mandela. However, there is no consistent level of expectation in terms of what we might learn about this great man when visiting these places. This paper examines an explanatory hypothesis that the process of place naming involving people – and any material representations that then refer to that person – not only offers the opportunity to learn about that person but also im…
