This billboard takes advantage of the fact that newsprint
paper yellows significantly in the sun. After ‘exposing’ the
paper under stencils on our roof in New York we shipped
it to Lisbon. Through further exposure to the sun there,
the typography slowly fade away

The outer perimeter of the glass tower will primarily house faculty offices facing outward toward the campus and city. The apparent visual transparency of the façade suggests a collective act of seeing. This reflects interpretations back toward the community, as any glass surface will. This concept is made more explicitly through the inscription of glass modules with fragments of languages, suggesting that language is a raw material that will be given form and disseminated as an ongoing process.
To engage natural phenomena and to reference the social dynamics between the University and the outside community, a typographic structure extends outward from the upper edge of the west façade. In the course of the day, once the sun skims the façade, the word “Explore”, legible in English or Spanish, will cast a shadow upon the ground.

The Billboard Earthbag project provides a new interpretation of sustainable environmental graphic design wherein the act of composition is simultaneously a gesture of sustainability. The Billboard Earthbag Project envisions using billboard vinyl as an alternative material for earthbags. Polyvinylchloride (PVC) or vinyl, a virtually indestructible, UV-resistant material that cannot be incinerated because of the toxic gases it would emit, represents a substantial portion of the PVC in the world’s overburdened landfills.
Because of its durability and imperviousness to the sun and other elements, billboard PVC is an ideal material for reuse.

Lubalin was a brilliant, iconoclastic advertising art director—in the 1940s with Reiss Advertising and then for twenty years with Sudler and Hennessey. Recipient of medal after medal, award after award, and in 1962 named Art Director of the Year by the National Society of Art Directors, he has also been a publication designer of great originality and distinction. He designed startling Eros in the early 60s, intellectually and visually astringent Fact in the mid-60s, lush and luscious Avant Garde late in the same decade, and founded U & lc in 1973 and saw it flourish into the 80s.
