Original Website
Before. Static, difficult to change and dated, the original site isolated content and people.
Our solution
We developed a modular tile system — inspired by the spirit of interconnectivity — that visualized the user experience as a brainstorming board. Simple, elegant and reflective of HCII's innovative culture, the information-rich and reductionist aesthetic equalized the presentation of all ideas (content). Moreover, as the real power of the institution is in its people, Square360 focused on highlighting the intricate, intracontent relationships between HCII’s humans and their research.
