R2 designed a wallpaper with pictures from all sketchbooks, which was set in the whole wall, top to bottom, giving the space a completely different atmosphere from the usual minimalism. R2 conceived also a set of exhibition displays — projected by Souto de Moura — that would display information and allow transportation. On the top of the display lies down the project’s mockup, above a set of drawers for documents that could be opened. In a space nearby, a long corridor with a group of 50 panels showed all projects done for competitions by Souto de Moura Architects. Due to the theme, R2 created similar panels used by architects in competitions. They were disposed forming a timeline along the architect’s career. Typography was applied using stencil.

Info
R2 is the signature of the designers and artists Lizá Défossez Ramalho (Troyes, France) and Artur Rebelo (Porto, Portugal). R2’s practice extends beyond conventional boundaries, navigating both typical graphic design’s two-dimensional mediums and architectural landscapes. R2 has earned global acclaim for its groundbreaking projects that contributed to redefine the boundaries of the design field. Driven by an unwavering commitment to excellence, they passionately devote themselves to crafting high-quality, both conceptually and visually, designed projects. R2 Design studio was co-founded in 1995 by Defossez Ramalho & Rebelo and works with cultural institutions and commercial clients in fields ranging from culture and lifestyle to industry. R2’s multidisciplinary approach allows them to respond effectively to a wide range of projects from Dam Signage in the Douro River (with Souto de Moura-Architects) to extensive branding that includes typography on building ceilings (Casa & typography do Conto), to a complex museum graphic identity with more than 14 locations (Museu do Porto). Recent projects includes branding project for Évora 2027, European Culture Capital in 2027 as well as for Vhils Studio.
