The challenge

Name and brand a makers' space and an exhibition venue without weakening the parent district's identity.

The idea

Mada names the space for experimentation; Sada, meaning echo, names the place where work meets its audience. Shared letterforms draw on Msheireb's architecture and the district's existing symbol. The paired identities preserve each venue's purpose while clearly belonging to one family.
