- Wayfinding & Signage Projects
- Sustainable Design Projects
The Botanical Research Institute of Texas, an international research and learning center, recently opened a new facility in Fort Worth's vibrant Cultural District. Situated adjacent to the Botanic Garden Center, the LEED Platinum certified facility designed by H3 Hardy Collaboration Architecture is surrounded by a series of landscaped features designed by Balmori Associate Architects to promote native plant life, filter and absorb rainwater, and preserve the native prairie habitat.
Through BRIT's representatives, The Projects Group, Two Twelve developed a comprehensive environmental graphic design program including building identification, exhibition graphics, donor recognition, and wayfinding systems for the new facilities. Our team worked closely with BRIT to understand their mission and help communicate their research and educational goals. Each design choice, from color and material palette, to the imagery and text used in the informational and interpretive signage, was made with the institute's conservation mission in mind.
