Venue

1 Venue The Estoril circuit was built in 1972 on a rocky plateau near the village of Alcabideche, 9 km from the city of Estoril, the beach resort lending its name to the circuit. The course has two hairpin turns, noticeable elevation changes, and a long start/finish straight.

Its original perimeter was 4.350 km (2.703 mi).

Throughout the years, Estoril has had numerous problems with safety, failing safety inspections on more than one occasion. After the death of Ayrton Senna at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, a chicane was added which increased the circuit length to 4.360 km (2.709 mi). Estoril sometimes has high crosswinds, which remind many of its Spanish counterpart, the Circuit de Catalunya which also has a similar layout. Many teams were fond of using Estoril for winter testing.

The intervention site is the race control tower, which hasn’t a signage system of any kind.

1 Venue

The creation of the the pictograms should be focused to an interior space. The interior space chosen was the race control tower, where we have a group of race marshalls who control all events of the race. The pictograms developed represent: the press conference room, the timing room, cctv room and an exit sign.

Inspiration

2 Inspiration

The main sources of inspiration for the development of the project were the pictograms used in 2000 Sydney’s Summer Olympics and the ones used in Beijing, 8 years later. The layout of the circuit was also an inspiration, due to the shapes and curves of the design.

The blue part of the sign, which consists in the pictogram, arrow and type, should be 5mm inside of the body of the pictogram. This gives an extra touch to the sign, making it not entirely flat.

The material sould be paint or plastic.

The grey part, the body of the sign, should be 20mm of thickness.

The material should be brushed steel. This material choice gives the possibility of game lights and a more dynamic design.
