CityGate, a new property development located between the Swiss railway station and the St. Jakob-Park in Basel, is due to comprise four buildings that will be used for business purposes. Two buildings have been designed by Diener and Diener, one by Herzog & de Meuron and one by Luca Selva. Depending on demand, the construction work takes place in several stages. The first of the two buildings designed by Diener + Diener opened in April 2010. iart interactive has developed the concept for the site’s signage and was responsible for its implementation.

Orientation signs have been installed in the underground garage and the buildings as well as illuminated signs on the roofs and pillars to present the project as a whole.
