TAG Sign planning for the office and showroom of a company selling imported furniture. TAG is the name of the building, using the capitals of the three words "transparent", “amenity” and “garden”. And these three words are the company’s policy and also express the architectural policy. In the sign plan, the architecture as a whole was used as a canvas to show the building name in a graphical way. The theme letters were not designed flatly but as a relief or three-dimensionally, trying to present the keywords in a visual way using the entire environment. SDA (Japan sign design Association) / Prize for Semi-Excellence. Architect : Hiroshi Miyazaki / Plants-Associates Inc. Complete date : 2000 Total floor area : 492m2
