Case Study: New Norcia enhances heritage interpretation with Axiom interpretive signage

New Norcia interprets 20 sites over 5 years with Axiom

Axiom partnered with New Norcia, Australia's only monastic town, to build upon a previous interpretation plan and develop new interpretive signage. The challenge was to create signage that would enhance the sense of place and engage visitors at multiple levels across this significant historical site.

Axiom developed a comprehensive design strategy and managed the project from fabrication to installation. Their solution used raw Cor-ten steel and etched stainless steel panels to reflect the monks' strength and craftsmanship. The resulting signage has been consistently commended by visitors and has gracefully aged to become one with its environment. The flexible design was also successfully adapted for additional locations, expanding the program's reach.
