How Typography Shapes Architecture-From Firm Identity to Signage

Talk & Discussion with Andrew Thill

1 LU Pending


We are delighted to invite you to the sixth session of our “Global Design Series”, a continuous series of inspiring discussions. Andrew Thill will present to chapter members about design and its impact on firm identity.


About the Event

In this talk, Andrew invites architects to consider typography as an essential design element—not simply as text, but as a visual language that shapes identity, communicates intent, and influences how people experience a place. He explores how architects can use typography more intentionally, from firm branding and presentations to project signage, environmental graphics, and the details that bring architecture to life.
