In combination with the wide palette of materials, graphic
designers 2x4
created a consistent graphic language for the Campus Center
based on the international symbol for a human, with large
scale graphics in some areas and, most strikingly, portraits
comprised of the miniature symbols describing the different
activities taking place in the building. What appears to be
an image of Mies van der Rohe at the northeast entry (image
on page one) is actually made up
of these small symbols. When split by the automatic parting
doors they become a humorous play on Mies's lasting influence
and stature at IIT by Koolhaas.
