Hospital de Sant Pau
Barcelona. Spain
The largest modernist space in the world
The modernist complex of the Hospital de Sant Pau is the largest space of its type in the world from that period. Designed at the beginning of the 20th century by the Catalan architect Lluís Domènec i Montaner, it houses nineteen pavilions serving various hospital functions.
Faced with this colossal challenge, the most important factor for creating signage for this unparalleled exterior space was to know what not to do.
The signage project was carried out with maximum respect for the architecture, using the most suitable materials for this unique and historical environment.
