World Conference on Timber Engineering 2022

WCTE is the biennial conference, and the most prestigious international event, in timber engineering, attracting researchers, engineers and architects from all contintents, to present and discuss the latest technical and architectural innovations in timber construction.

The identity is dynamic and expressive, yet clear and unified. With strong use of colors and bold typography, the identity range from subtile, sophisticated surfaces to playful experiences – loud and proud, and solid as ever.

In 2022 the conference is set to be held in Oslo, and WCTE approached us to design an identity concept for the conference, helping them with all communication and promotion of events, exhibitons and activites arranged for the conference.

For the identity we constructed a three dimensional sculpture, that when seen from different angles, reveals each of the four letters; WCTE. Renderings of the sculpture are exported and used as an illustrative element in the identity, and the structure is the base for all communiaction material, as well as sculpture itself, constructed with pioneering timber engineering techniques, is to be used to build the exhibition stands themselves.

Uniform has partnered up with WCTE in an ongoing collaboration to further develop the identity and their communication assets in the next coming years.
