WiE Design: Every Space Tells a Story

Updated: Jun 30




In the realm of architecture, every structure becomes a narrative waiting to unfold. At WiE Design, we embark on a journey where every space becomes a storyteller, weaving together the threads of symbolism and human experience. Join us as we delve into the intricate layers of architectural graphic design, uncovering the profound connections that enrich our built environment.


Unveiling Symbolism in Architecture

Beyond mere aesthetics, architectural graphic design becomes a language of symbols, expressing culture, history, and identity. With meticulous attention to detail, we reveal the hidden meanings within every line, shape, and color, inviting individuals to engage with spaces on a deeper level.


“Architecture is exposed to life. If its body is sensitive enough, it can assume a quality that bears witness to past life.” Peter Zumthor, Swiss architect


The Essence of Space

At WiE Design, we believe the essence of a space lies in its ability to evoke emotions and stir imagination. Inspired by phenomenology, we view architecture as an immersive experience, engaging all the senses. From the tactile texture of a wall to the ethereal dance of light and shadow, each element is carefully crafted to resonate with the human spirit, fostering contemplation and reflection.

Life-Centric Design Philosophy

Our approach to architectural graphic design is rooted in life-centric principles. By collaborating with experts across disciplines, we strive to understand the unique needs and aspirations of those who will inhabit our spaces. Placing human experience at the forefront of our design process, we create environments that not only inspire but also enrich lives, fostering connection and belonging.


“If architecture is any good, a person who looks and listens will feel its good effects without noticing.” Carlo Scarpa, Italian architect and designer


Inspirational Voices

Throughout our journey, we draw inspiration from visionary architects who have shaped the landscape of design. From Peter Zumthor's reflections to Carlo Scarpa's meticulous attention to detail and Louis Kahn's pursuit of truth through geometry, these voices guide and inspire us as we navigate the complexities of architectural graphic design. They remind us of the profound impact architecture can have on our lives and the responsibility we bear as designers to create spaces that uplift and inspire.






Armed with this profound knowledge, we set our goal to uncover the subtle connections among spaces, human experiences, symbols, colors, and ethics, transcending both tangible and intangible elements. In our collaborative journey, the fusion of "you" and "I" forms the collective "WiE“.
