RSM is excited to share images from our latest identity and wayfinding project in China… the Nanjing Taiwan Trade Mart. This open air retail destination is the first mall in China to promote imported goods from Taiwan.
The industrial architecture and context of this unique trading complex inspired RSM to develop a bold and iconic approach to the graphic enhancements on the buildings. With the use of large scale industrial building identity numbers and smaller scaled bi-lingual branding and wayfinding elements, the pedestrian navigation through the project became clear. Complementing, and not competing, with the bold colors of the architecture was an important consideration in the creation of the graphic beacons.

The City of Blades
Solingen, called the “City of Blades,” renowned for the manufacturing of fine swords, knives, scissors, and razors is the location for one of RSM’s international mixed-use projects.
Finding inspiration through the cultural landscape and industries of Solingen (heavy machinery, precision products, the colors of iron ore glow), RSM is scratching the surface to uncover the wealth of textures, patterns, and materials that make up this environment. This inspiration and research has strongly influenced a comprehensive sign program for this dynamic mixed use retail and entertainment center.

RSM has been selected as the architectural graphics consultant for the new Aztec Student Center on the San Diego State University campus.
Projected to open in late 2013, this new student union building will feature many on campus amenities for the students including a market, fitness center, food court, theater, retail spaces, bowling alley, and individual meeting spaces for the many student clubs and organization. RSM will be working with the student organizations, administration, and facilities group at SDSU to create a comprehensive and state of the art digital wayfinding, identity, and specialty graphics program that will integrate with the historic Spanish Mission architecture and invite students campus wide to congregate, study, eat, and play.
The graphics program to be designed by RSM will include exterior and interior identity and wayfinding signage, a unique flexible electronic signage program throughout, as well as specialty graphics for the entertainment venues.

Continuing their many projects on college campuses, the design team at RSM is creating an architectural signage and graphics package for the new conference center located on the University of California at Davis campus. Situated adjacent to the cultural complex on campus and across from the renowned Mondavi Center, this new UC Davis Marketplace will be an exciting new destination for the students, faculty, and visitors. RSM is designing the branding and graphics for such amenities as the bookstore, market, café bistro, private dining areas, and study area.
Dynamic original wall murals and integrated architectural signage are being woven into the architecture to define the different functional spaces and create a welcoming place unlike anything on campus, to linger after the theater, relax with a cup of coffee, sip a glass of wine, or browse the bookstore.
"I would like Jane Austen and a Jackhammer, Please"

The South Berkeley Public Library is quite a unique environment – there aren’t too many places one can check out Jane Austen and a jackhammer in the same location. RSM is excited to be designing the wayfinding and identity program for this public library. Tools from the lending library are used both literally and figuratively to create a whimsical yet functional approach to the sign family. Ladders, hammers, and Pride and Prejudice – all in one location.
