SCYTALIS

By analyzing the identity of the company SCYTALIS as well as the historical origin of the name, we were inspired to use a main synthetic tool provided by another encrypted writing mechanism.

Therefore, the visualization of the Morse code which has been created for the transmission of information, either by long or short pulses or by dots and dashes, with specific rules, is a key feature at selected points within the building.

The geometric representation and visual rendering of the code at the premises of the company’s offices, apart from a mental and visual trick, creates structures that play an active role in the configuration of the function as well as in the unification of the space.

The goal is to create a “game” of memory and recognition, as well as an indirect interaction with the space that aims to be appropriated by users and visitors.
