Introduction

The Media Lab are spaces of creativity, creation of digital projects, innovative and collaborative. Without a concrete definition, and closed, are home to some of the world's fields as journalism, design, art, digital, new technology, or engineering.
MediaLab_ will be a period of learning in which the university will work on design projects, communication and humanities, through the use of technologies of industry 4.0.
The design of the identity uses a visual language that is intended to be a claim for young people to participate and collaborate in a multidisciplinary setting. We use as a visual metaphor for the graphical representation of bits and atoms, a name of two of the fundamental spaces of the MediaLab_

We made special emphasis on the use of materials that are environmentally responsible, as the fabrics organic, paper, stone, etc

Graphic resources

We take as a reference the graphic representation of the bits and atoms to create a visual code that could be mixed and create infinitely many solutions.

Design offices

Search for a spatial order through the sequence of parts that are interconnected.
From the beginning working on project ideas that arise from an approach to geometric to release the central space, as this will ease the situation and interconnection of the functional needs.

“Geometry as a means of approach to the space it is able to generate an intrinsic order of the project.”

C. FerraterArchitect
