Vibrant Paths

Vibrant Paths is a graphic aesthetic wayfinding strategy to welcome the launch of the Elizabeth Line and also to remedy the fractured public realm surrounding the major transport hub in Paddington, within the City of Westminster, central London. We believe a strong identity is vital to rebrand this district. Divided into mobility, daily life, attractions and nature, each route followed by a unique pattern leads passengers to reveal distinct narrative aspects of Paddington. With the redesign and transformation of existing street elements like signages, lighting and pipelines, Vibrant Paths aim to vastly enhance permeability and provide commuters and locals with an interactive and sustainable experience.
