Design Rationale

MPavilion is an annual architecture commission by the Naomi Milgrom Foundation complemented by an independent cultural program. Briefed to design and document MPavilion’s six iterations in a book with essays from their community, Studio Ongarato, the original creators of MPavilion’s identity and graphic language, draws on the MPavilion brand identity, typeface and language with the signature MPavilion coral colour – a unifying motif across the fore-edge of the book and throughout. A very layered book, with many parts, the simple cover contrasts with the rich and diverse contents, mirroring the ‘container of ideas’ concept of the project and identity.
